Fractured Skulls 227: Requiem For A Dream (2000) & In A Violent Nature (2024)

T2 & Monoxide are back again with another double review of Requiem For A Dream & In A Violent Nature. IAVN: When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 70-year old crime, his body is resurrected and becomes hellbent on retrieving it. RFAD: Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) is a retired widow, living in a small apartment. She spends most of her time watching TV, especially a particular self-help show. She has delusions of rising above her current dull existence by being a guest on that show. Her son, Harry (Jared Leto) is a junkie but along with his friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) has visions of making it big by becoming a drug dealer. Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) could be fashion designer or artist but is swept along in Harry's drug-centric world. Meanwhile Sara has developed an addiction of her own. She desperately wants to lose weight and so goes on a crash course involving popping pills, pills which turn out to be very addictive and harmful to her mental state #RyBarrett #AndreaPavlovic #CameronLove #ReecePresley #LiamLeone #CharlotteCreaghan #LeaRoseSebastianis #SamRoulston #AlexanderOliver #TimothyPaulMcCarthy #LaurenMarieTaylor #ChrisNash #InAViolentNature #darrenaronofsky #clintmansell #requiemforadream #jaredleto #marlonwayans #ellenburstyn #jenniferconnelly #hubertselbyjr #hubertselby #christophermcdonald #podcast #spotify #fraturedskulls #fracturedskullspodcast
