This video presents a portrait of fiction writer Bret Easton Ellis, who was catapulted to notoriety with the publication of American Psycho. Ellis, who was born in 1964 in New York, rose to fame and fortune in his early twenties for this and other controversial works, vilified by many for their misogynistic and violent content. His defenders say the author’s work is satirical in style, and realistic in its representation of pop culture of the 1980s. The film features an interview with Ellis, as well as comments from friends, relatives, and other artists. Also included are selected dramatizations from American Psycho and other books by the author. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie GuideRead More »
