"Nocturnal Animals" - a magnificent, crazy movie that has received this year's "Special Jury Prize" at the Venice Film Festival - the second place after the "Golden Lion". In fact very simple film unimaginably complex, mystical and violent spectacle.
Before our eyes played two stories in one. Susan (Amy Adams) - galeristka rich, but unhappy wife. She lives in a constant cycle of clowns modern art exhibitions and hypocritical talks and feasts. At home waiting for her cold emptiness, because the handsome husband Walker (Armie Hammer), the self-employed. He is in perpetual traveling and rarely sleeps, that even more annoying and worrying Susan. From the first appearance of the characters significantly suffocating sense of apathy and artificiality. In barely alive, drowsiness fate of woman adds firewood dedicated to her fresh manuscript of the novel her former spouse Edward under the mysterious name "Nocturnal Animals".
Gloss and aristocratic life Susan Morrow shimmer with the suffering and dusty sandy surroundings dismal track on which his family goes Tony. However, in the film enough nonsense. There is a series of foolish decisions made by Tony, when a gang of hooligans force oppresses his car to the curb. And here we must blame either the Tom Ford, a writer Edward, who gave birth to a romance with the absurd complication with either weak-willed man, or with excessively compliant, or spineless and stupid. However, what it is Susan looks hideously creepy. There are no knives or saws, or other bladed weapons, which are famous slasher. Only consumer fear, as in "Funny Games," Haneke. The book - a description weakling becoming a terrible madman. Ford creates an atmosphere of great confusion and panic of despair. Gyllenhaal in the film on top. His image - the embodiment of helplessness and rage, and sadistic drama looms to tie the danger of death.
