series Labor of Love: 100 Years of Movie Dates
Directed by Mary Harron | 2000
With Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas
“A sleek, satirical, yuppie-era Jekyll and Hyde that blithely tap dances along the fault lines separating movie genres.”
—The New York Times
In this controversial adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ equally controversial 1991 novel, Christian Bale plays a handsome, Harvard-educated investment banker who is also a serial killer. Patrick Bateman wines and dines dates at the trendiest restaurants of Wall Street-era Manhattan, and opines about Huey Lewis and the News, Phil Collins, and Whitney Houston before coolly directing orgies and murdering the women he lures into them. Mary Harron’s ultra-violent satire is “like a serpent in a glass cage” (Time), taking aim at yuppie sociopathy.
