 INKPOT#83/II CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Requiem Cycle II - PENDERECKI A Polish Requiem. The Dream of Jacob. Various/Royal ...
As far as requiems go, the compositional process of Penderecki's masterpiece is perhaps a curious one: written in several stages between 1980 and 1984, its individual movements were performed on isolated occasions.
This is confirmed by the music of the Requiem Polskie, in which finally everything comes together that moved Penderecki, the man and artist, the patriot and Catholic, in such a difficult period for his country".
Penderecki has intended his Requiem to contain glimpses of hope to all those who seek hope: hope for God's help and hope of a new life.

 Requiem for a Dream
I’ve gone this far without mentioning Requiem for a Dream’s visual style because I suspect that will be all anyone else writes about, and the film is too powerfully insightful, too human to be dealt with as some cinematic curiosity.
But where a movie like The Matrix fetishizes technique, Requiem uses it expressively; there isn’t a moment in the film that feels gratuitous, and considering the extravagance of some of its shots, the fact that none of them fail to perform as intended is little short of miraculous.
Requiem for a Dream is the kind of movie whose full impact can’t be felt right away, because you leave the theater with your ears ringing and your head fit to explode.

 The 11th Hour Web Magazine - Movie Reviews - Requiem For A Dream
Requiem for a Dream, the sophomore effort from Pi writer/director Darren Aronofsky, is a movie so uncompromisingly honest in its examination of human frailty that it becomes almost unbearable to watch.
Requiem for a Dream exposes all human defense mechanisms against the pain of reality -- any illusions of a happier future, and any means to escape the less attractive present -- as little more than a furthering of that heartache.
Aronofsky shot Requiem in a heightened, surreal style very different from Pi but just as distinctive, and as a result, everything has a sort of exaggerated quality that is eerily juxtaposed against the personal nature of the material.

 Requiem for a dream - musicolog.com
Requiem For A Dream is Darren Aronofsky’s follow-up to his astounding debut movie Pi — the lo-fi, fl-and-white tale of madness and mathematics that was made for $60,000 and shot guerrilla-style on the streets and subways of New York City.
Co-written by Aronofsky and Selby himself, Requiem For A Dream charts the parallel, addiction-fuelled narratives of TV junkie Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), her drug addict son Harry (Jared Leto), his fashion-designer girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connolly) and his dealer best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans).
It was undoubtedly this insistence on tragedy that made Requiem For A Dream a more difficult second feature for its writer-director than it should have been.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Requiem for a Dream"
Like Aronofsky's debut film, "Pi," "Requiem for a Dream" deliberately jumps the rails of realism, devolving into a Hieronymus Bosch-like stew of distortion, obsession and madness until it seems that the movie itself is hallucinating, rather than the characters.

 Flak Magazine: Review of Requiem for a Dream, 11-3-00
Judging from its subject matter (addiction) and its trio of young, attractive stars, it would be easy to write off Requiem for a Dream as yet another movie where pretty young things lounge about, sticking needles in their arms and gazing skyward to the throbbing pulse of the year's best soundtrack.

 Review: Requiem for a Dream
This year, it's Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream, one of the most forceful anti-drug narratives ever to be committed to celluloid.
Requiem for a Dream is bleak, offering little in the way of respite in its depiction of the consequences of addiction (chief of which is the unwillingness of addicts to seek help).
Requiem for a Dream certainly isn't the first recent motion picture to offer an unpleasant picture of what happens when an individual becomes hooked on drugs, but its quadruple character study is unsparing.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
Both characters, one gradually comes to believe, are driven by the same national mythology about what success means in an aimlessly drifting existence; both their dreams quickly turn into horrific nightmares, which represent only the flip side of the desperate optimism that infects their lives.
The greater effectiveness of Sara's fantasies may also be a tribute to Burstyn's gifts in tailoring much of her performance to expressionist designs, at least until the script literalizes this process by virtually turning her into stone.
Unfortunately, once Requiem for a Dream accumulates all this elaborate and suggestive paraphernalia, it plummets in an inexorable, almost mechanical spiral.

 Requiem for a Dream
Requiem for a Dream, based on Hubert Selby, Jr.'s novel of the same name, shows some of the same style, but this time the budget is bigger, the actors are established names, and color adds still another tool to Aronofsky's crafty collection of cinematic techniques.
None of them are "bad" people; rather, they are all too human folks whose elusive dreams play out against all too human weaknesses; though they may be less than admirable in their mistaken choices, the choices are their's and the punishment is profound.
