Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connelly. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Hubert Selby, Jr., with whom Aronofsky wrote the screenplay. Burstyn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. The film was screened out of competition at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
The film depicts different forms of addiction, leading to the characters’ imprisonment in a world of delusion and reckless desperation that is subsequently overtaken and devastated by reality.
The film charts three seasons in the lives of Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), her son Harry (Jared Leto), Harry’s girlfriend Marion Silver (Jennifer Connelly), and Harry’s friend Tyrone C. Love (Marlon Wayans).
The story begins in summer; Sara Goldfarb, an elderly widow living alone in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, spends her time watching infomercials hosted by Tappy Tibbons (Christopher McDonald). After a phone call announces that she will be invited to be a participant on a game show, she becomes obsessed with regaining the youthful appearance she possesses in a photograph from Harry's graduation, her proudest moment. In order to fit into her old red dress, the favorite of her deceased husband Seymour, she begins taking a regimen of prescription weight-loss amphetamine pills throughout the day and a sedative at night. Despite Harry’s warnings about amphetamine addiction, she passionately insists that the chance to be on television has given her a reason to live. When her invitation does not arrive over the fall, she increases her dosage but begins suffering from amphetamine psychosis, hallucinating that she is the principal subject of the game show and that her refrigerator is a menacing, living monster.

I've seen these nightfalls, I've seen angels fall.
I've seen storm rising. devouring all earth.
I can't remember where this all begun, when I woke for the first time in these haunted shores.
The poets of death will paint this world with ghostly fears.
I've seen nightfalls
I've seen the broken dreams
Book of dark hours seems endless for me
The greatest sorrow
Music of the darkest seas
Sings with the nightly wind requiem for a dream
Behold the world in ageless night behold the world in my dreams
Sleepwalking in a nightmare, sleepwalking in a dream...
In these dark hours, in these haunted shores.
I've seen storm raging, I've seen these nightly rains.
I've seen skies closing down upon the earth.
The poets of death will paint this world with ghostly fear, in these dreams I follow you.
In my dreams I follow you.
The darkest shadows flickers of the memories once so bright and blooming with hope.
