From Bret Easton Ellis's Novel to Mary Harron's Film
Bret Easton Ellis's controversial novel "American Psycho" (1991) captivated readers with its unflinching portrayal of the depravity hidden behind the mask of 1980s Wall Street glamour. Mary Harron's 2000 film adaptation, co-written with Guinevere Turner, brilliantly captured the novel's essence, with Christian Bale delivering an unforgettable performance as the charismatic yet homicidal investment banker Patrick Bateman.
