This is an outstanding movie. I am a fan of Bret Easton Ellis. I think Avary's adaptation of Ellis' opera of venality and self-gratification on the part of the students of Camden College is fabulous.
This movie is like an a dark opera, and has a great soundtrack to boot. The movie has so many great moments in it I wont even get started. I thought the direction was inventive. I thought James Van Der Beek did an amazing job as he smirked, sneered, smoke and drank through this movie. I thought the "european vacation" montage mid-way through the movie was groundbreaking. This movie makes you feel a little bit spent after you see it, its such an experience.
In short, SCREW THE CRITICS. They apparently don't know a good movie when they see it. "In the Bedroom" was total crap, goes to show you that movie 'experts' can often be morons about movies. Like I say, screw em. |
