FRAME THE SHOT
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, American Psycho remains a modern cinema classic. Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a young, handsome, Harvard-educated, Wall Street success, seemingly perfect with his stunning fiancée (Reese Witherspoon) and entourage of high-powered friends. But his circle of friends doesn’t know the other Patrick Bateman, the one who lusts for women, wealth, and the ultimate crime ― murder! Based on the controversial book by Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho is a sexy thriller that sets forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.
