A faithful adaptation of author Bret Easton Ellis’ highly controversial novel, this punchy look at the corporate morals of 1980s America is a ride at once disturbing and brightly satirical. Modern narcissism has rarely been portrayed as remarkably on screen. Starring a superb Christian Bale!
A difficult yet rewarding film from the equally complex Danish provocateur Lars von Trier! This fiercely polemical, little-seen sequel to Dogville tackles a topic as sensitive as slavery, all the while maintaining its predecessor’s Brechtian premise, anti-American bent, and yes, its brilliance.
The bumbling antiheroes of this gleefully unhinged crime comedy find the American dream more out of reach than ever before. They all have their twisted reasons for chasing it anyway. In the way these determined fools catastrophically bungle their mission, Paul Schrader finds both humor and pathos.
