For those of you who haven't seen this classic new age film about the miscellaneous problems that habitual drug users encounter; it is a must see. With stars ranging from Britanny Murphy (Nikki) to Jason Schwartzman (Ross), this film takes you on a wild adventure through the lives of multiple drug users and how they all connect in finding a way back to eachother through their continuous habit. This film reminded me a lot of one my all-time favorite movies, Requiem for a Dream. The altered state of mind that director Jonas Akerlund potrays in this film takes the audience out of their seats and into the movie, making them feel as though they are experiencing the actions being played out firsthand, as an innocent bystander being pulled into the dangerous situations brought into their lives by these enigmatic characters. As the plot of the film unfolds, you get to see how sex, drugs, and rock & roll play a part in tearing apart the lives of those with which seemed to be getting by just fine. This film will make you laugh, cry, and gasp in disbelief; but telling you about it is not enough. Go see for yourself what it feels like to get Spun.
