Darren Aronofskys "Requiem for a dream" is definitly one which falls in the last category.
Sara Goldfarb is an elderly woman. Her husband died and she spends a lot of time in front of the TV watching here favorite show.
One day she gets a call of that show, she might be able to participate herself. To loose some weight to wear her favorite red dress again, she starts taking dietpills which include amphetamines.
Her son, Harry , has its own problems. He and his firend,Tyron C. Love steal his mothers TV regular to sell it for drugs. His girlfriend, Marion, is a fan of the needle as well.
To finance their drug addiction more efficent, they decide to sell heroin themselves.
At first everything seems to work out fine, but then the supply gets low and they have to dip into their funds to finace their own habit.
Things get worse as the funds are used up and Harry sends out to prostetute herself. They all split up eventually and everyone is experiencing their own hell.
We were 3 guys watching it on a Friday night and wanted to go out after it....we didn`t. I did not even wanted to smoke or finish my beer.
The camera and the soundtrack underline very well the "haunting"( I lack a better word ) atmosphere. Mixed with a lot of cuts it becoems a very unsettling but somehow fascinating experience.
It has been a while since I watched this movie but I still remember the most shocking experience was the story of Sara.
She was a nice elderly woman, trying to take care of her son. She was meeting with her friends but she was isolated already and weirdly addicted to that show.
But she was sympathetic in a movie were most are not.
Seeing her, how she looses her mind slowly and the lines between her reality and phantasy are slowly but surely fading more and more, was truely awful as it seems it was not really her fault. Everyone else is already an addict when we get thrown into this world, but her we see more and more sliding.

I totally get it and although I agree that this movie falls into that category (gets under your skin, only watch once ), I bought it on DVD a long time ago and must have watched it 3 or 4 or times. It was a tough watch every single time. Perhaps, next time, I should justen listen to its soundtrack instead ;>)
Another movie that intrigued me but is hard to watch more than once is Gaspar Noé's Irreversible. Ever seen that one? Now I think of it, most of Gaspar Noé's films are tough to watch. The same goes, for instance, for the films of Michael Haneke.
Have a great day!

The soundtrack is so good! Great music for sports or killing dragons.
I have not seen it but heard of it. Maybe I give it a go soon but I need to be in a special mood to watch movies like that.

Haha! I have no experience killing dragons although I loved ( reading about ) them as a kid.
I totally get it. I prefer watching happier stuff myself these days, although I'm not much of a comedy fan. There's too many unfunny comedies.
Have a nice weekend! :>)

The movie very interesting, but the sad story about the son and his gf who engage in selling heroin but later at the end of day when they broke, the lady prostitute which they end up separating them...
Thanks for share.

I've seen it on high school. It was a tough one. Also didn't want to wathc it again...
Several years passed and as I was getting ready to study in Innsbruck and was learnign German, I watched Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo. As a part of my evening education. And I actually cried watching it haha :D I guess u come from Germany right? have u heard about the movie? It's the same topic, but with kids so actually even worse and tougher to watch.

I never watched the movie but I have read the book.
When I was pretty young. I guess like 13 or so. I dont recall if it was for school or for myself.
I thought requiem was tougher on me, which does not mean Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo was not.
I dont really can put my finger on it why.
