Requiem For A Dream Internet Archive Access

One of the rarest gems in the archive is a low-fidelity MP3 titled "Aronofsky_Commentary_Dream_Workshop.ra" (RealAudio format). The file is corrupted in the middle, but the surviving 15 minutes feature a young Aronofsky discussing the "hip hop montage" theory. He explains that he wanted the editing to feel like a drug—that the cuts should hit faster and faster until the brain breaks. This commentary track was thought lost after the original DVD pressing errors; the Internet Archive is the only place it survives in the wild.
