Tell your secretary to cancel all your appointments on Friday, September 27th because Los Angeles Arts Society is bringing American Psycho to The Frida Cinema! Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial novel, Mary Harron’s adaptation finds much to laugh at in this blackest of black comedies. Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman, a big shot investment banker who dines at fancy restaurants and compares business cards with friends by day and butchers associates to the accompaniment of Huey Lewis and the News by night. Frank in its graphic depiction of sex and violence, the film uses these excesses not to thrill or titillate but rather to capture the unfathomable emptiness of Bateman’s life. It’s a chilling portrayal that is underlined by the vapid extravagance of its 1980s Wall Street setting. After the movie ends, stick around for a simply irresistible raffle and Q&A with actress-screenwriter, Guinevere Turner (BloodRayne, Charlie Says). She will be on hand to discuss the film and its themes as well as answer any questions you might have about them! Arrive early at 6:30pm for the Psycho Killer Preshow, a choice selection of Pat Bateman’s favorite music videos playing on the big screen! Also be sure to unwind and take in the ’80s environment as LA Arts Society turns The Frida lobby into a new wave club before the movie starts!
