American Psycho

Thriller (1h 44min)   Release date : 21/04/2000

Dir. Mary Harron
starring Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe

Patrick Bateman is young, beautiful, ivy leagued and indistinguishable from his Wall Street contemporaries. Shielded by privilege, wealth and mundane conformities, Bateman, by night, is the American psycho, roaming freely and fearlessly, satisfying his murderous urges - and documenting it. As the film progresses however, Bateman's grip on reality deteriorates, his murders become increasingly violent and complex, and his depiction of events become more outlandish, drawing into question whether Bateman has actually committed any of the murders he has described, or whether they were simply the figments of a delusional psychotic.
