“Requiem for a Dream” depicts the descent into addiction’s dark abyss for four individuals: Harry, Marion, Ty, and Sara. They chase the euphoria of drugs, but their lives unravel as they become enslaved by heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines. The film hauntingly explores the destructive consequences of addiction, exposing the delusions, death, and redemption that accompany their journey through Coney Island, their cramped apartment, and an abandoned building.
