The editing in Requiem for a Dream holds thematic and character relevance to the overall film, rather than just acting as a way to piece scenes together. Every quick-cut has a meaning, as does the split-screen sequences. In this video essay, I look at why editor Jay Rabinowitz and Darren Aronofsky compiled the film the way they did, and the effect it has on the audience.
