Requiem for a Dream


In the reptile episode (the one with the guy with numerous lizards, and the woman who was bitten by the venemous snake), there was notable use of quick cuts to flowing blood and pill popping. I only mention this because the style was almost exactly the same in the movies "Requiem for a Dream" and "Pi" (both directed by Darren Aronofsky).

Did anyone else notice this? It was too close to be just a coincidence. I guess Nigel Levy is a fan (or friend) of Darren Aronofsky.

They had a marathon and I saw the episode you're talking about. Yeah, that totally reminded me of the scenes in Requiem when he was shooting up and his mom was popping pills. I don't know if anyone at FA has any connection to the movie, but I see what you mean.
