Requiem for a Dream

A film poster split into two striking visuals: the top half features a close-up of a wide, bloodshot blue eye, symbolizing intensity and altered perception. The bottom half shows a solitary woman in red standing on a pier, gazing out at a vast, empty ocean under a pale sky. The title “Requiem for a Dream” is bold and central, with “DREAM” highlighted in red. Above it reads “A Film by Darren Aronofsky,” and the cast includes Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans.
