This was recently the case withAmerican Psycho.

Its a dirty job, but someone has to do it, I guess.

And perhapswhat I love about it the most is that it is a thinker.

What is it trying to say to me, through the rich and deeply subjective language of cinema?

What is American Psycho About?

There’s a new American Psycho coming to town, but can he match Harron’s iconic monster?

Allens murder sets the dominos falling, and Bateman begins to attack people.

These are their weapons.

Much attention is drawn to the lavish minutiae of this lifestyle.

In a world where everything seems so high-stakes,the meaninglessness of it all is one big joke.

The one real presence in Batemans life is music.

Its a physically grueling role, one that requires much control to portray a man who has little.

Mary Harron directs the piece with a sharp and very particular view to framing it all as quite ludicrous.

This is a biting, wry comedy examining the elements that make a man a monster.
