American Psycho

2000 · 102 min · Thriller

A vain, immaculate 1980s Wall Street investment banker hides a monstrous appetite for violence beneath his polished surface, his savagery blurring with delusion. Mary Harron's razor-sharp satire of yuppie greed and emptiness.

Why it’s here

Mary Harron’s Canadian-led satire turns 1980s Manhattan finance, status consumption, and Wall Street identity into its complete social world.
