"Living near desolate Coney Island, a widow whose world is circumscribed by television, her junkie son, and his addicted friends surrenders to amphetamines in her struggle to lose weight. Her dreams turn grotesque and nightmarish, as does the life of her pathetic son. With unusual intensity and strong imagery, Aronofsky illuminates Selby's novel with a vigor and imagination that are hallmarks of New York independent filmmaking."(Made in NY, Press Release)
