As far as requiem....
The parallels between the downward spirals of addiction between the mother and son are absolutely brilliant.....the cinematography with recurring scenes of the eyes and the drugs when they're shooting up is great, as is the scene where Damon Wayans and his gf are in bed together.....the simple, but terrifyingly sad life of Leto's mother...the essence of her being a low-life when in the subway and hospital despite her being a very nice, even reasonably attractive older lady absolutely kills me.
It's not the scenes like his arm that disturb me, but his gf's desperation, the trying to get ahead, but can't quite do it, but mostly the sadness of his mother who only wants to be beautiful again and make her son happy and get her husband back for one more moment.....
