Candy


This film is as real as Heath Ledgers "Candy"

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I found them both credible films but a bit disappointing because after strong buildups because the filmmakers didn't know where to take the characters. 7/10 for both from me.

Yes, both Candy and Animals are about a junkie couple who start out doing drugs together for fun but then fall deep into addiction. Christiane F and Requiem for a Dream also touch upon this junkie couple theme. I wonder how often it really happens like that? I mean, how many of such junkie couples there are? I would have thought that serious addicts don't stay together as romantic couples for long. But these movies seem to suggest that couples can actually support each other and also reinforce each others' addiction.
