Why is this in black and white?


So, I was a huge fan of Requiem for a Dream and I had wanted to see this movie for such a long time. Finally, I saw that it was on Showtime On Demand. I was rather surprised to discover that it was in black and white. I mean, Requiem for a Dream was such a beautifully shot, colorful film, that it's hard to believe that the same director shot this movie. I actually only made it through about 40 minutes of the movie. It was just too different than what I was expecting.

It was his first film and shot on a shoestring, that was probably the only reason.
