Viewers may still be most aware of Jennifer Connelly for her young turn in the equally horrific tour-de-force
The Labryinth – and though being
dragged around a magic kingdom by David Bowie was arduous, her experience on
Requiem was on another level. To get into character as Marion, a dress designer, Connelly started making clothes for herself. In fact, most of her wardrobe in the movie was self-made. Late into the film, as the core trio disband and their lives start to unravel, the emotional phone call between Marion and Harry is a brief moment of delicacy. The call itself was done for real – both sides were shot simultaneously on adjacent parts of the set through a live phone hookup. One of the film’s most notorious scenes (let’s just call it the “ass to ass” scene), from Marion’s closing act, actually stems from something that happened in Aronofsky’s presence – though he’s never disclosed any further information. Probably best to leave it there, Darren.
