I love Requiem, but you are right, it is a depressing movie. I feel like Ellen Burstyn was totally fucked over at the Academy Awards. She nailed the performance and I felt totally deserved the best supporting actress award. The film has an amazing score as well. The only one of Darren Aronofsky movies I'm not really a big fan of is Noah. I even liked mother and the wrestler is probably my favorite film of his. I love his imagery and surrealism he brings to the table. His movies aren't exactly meant to have Happy Endings as much as they are meant to have realistic endings.
