Shot to reflect the mental states of its charac ters, "Requiem for a Dream" varies between soporific ecstasy and tortur ous agony. The movie follows the down spiral of four addicts whose sto ries are intertwined but are not dependent upon one another. The disconcerting aspect of "Requiem for a Dream" is the way that it relates the desire for a high from drug addiction to the same tendency in sober life from another source. The payout is neither as big as the junkie needs nor as long as he requires. "Requiem for a Dream" is unsettling to the point that it makes one question whether the ideals toward which we direct our everyday efforts are ulti mately as futile as those of the movie's characters. The grip Aronofsky's hypersensitive filming at once drifts the audience through a drug-induced fantasy and then slams them against a hard-edged reality. The movie is composed and plays like a symphony dedicated to the final destination of a futile life. -C.

Upon my arrival in July, I was fortunate to work with NDVision for two of their four week confer ences.

Over 200 Coleman-Morse Center students from various Holy Cross schools and parishes (University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary Col lege, Holy Cross College, University of Portland, Our Lady of Solidad Parish in California, Hoban High School of Ohio) gathered at a Catholic grade school about 75 minutes from the heart ofToronto. We used the school as "home base." Not only were we from many different schools and parishes, we RCIA-Session were also from different countries. A large group from Chile was with us, a group from France and 10:00 a.m.-11 :30 a.m. Mexico joined us, and we joined a "host" Holy Cross group from Montreal.
