Bret Easton Ellis

“I was like most white, upper-class, educated boys.”

Hardly the first film that comes to mind.

A minor character with a major role.

Ellis is stepping up to direct for the first time.

“Epic nihilistic vision of upper-middle-class despair…”

Bale has never shied away from a challenge.

Coming clean.

“It wound up being a pivotal kind of day.”

“One of the key achievements of 1970s New Hollywood.”

Literary distaste.

Interesting.

“A failing of mind in the final scene.”
