Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Aronofsky's 2000 addiction film. Four people destroyed in parallel tracks.
Jared Leto won Best Supporting Actress category rival attention for Dallas Buyers Club, winning Best Supporting Actor playing a transgender woman, a casting decision that has been substantially reconsidered since.
Requiem for a Dream is the earlier serious work and remains his best performance.
His preparation methods on Suicide Squad, involving gifts sent to castmates, were widely reported and widely criticised. He fronts Thirty Seconds to Mars, which has toured at stadium scale, and the music occupies as much of his time as film.
