For those of you who are fans of Darren Aronofsky’s cult movie – Requiem for a dream, the six year long wait is over.
Intellectually as engaging as Pi and Requiem and visceral in its impact, the film is presented in a non-linear fashion spanning a thousand years, portraying beautiful visions and breathing life into a universe dependent on life, love & death.
The lush cinematography with black and gold miasma blend perfectly with the minimalist score based mostly on string instruments.
A usually action oriented Hugh Jackman pairs up with Rachel Weisz in a soul story that simply forgets about time. The chemistry between them is absolute albeit with shades of melodrama, and any lesser actors wouldn’t have portrayed the three-dimensional characters in a more vivid and emotional way.
In Aronofsky’s own words, this isn’t a story to be analyzed, but an experience to enjoyed.

So whoever you are… this is my request… let me have the title. Give me the where, when and how of it all.
I am a believer in providence and thusly fully embrace the opportunities afford to me by the benevolence of universe
