American Psycho
Réalisé par Mary HarronAu cœur des années Reagan, Patrick Bateman est un pur produit de la réussite américaine. Jeune, riche, il est un de ces golden boys qui triomphent à la bourse. Seul le nec plus ultra est digne de lui et il s'emploie à ne retrouver que des symboles qui lui renvoient une image de succès. Il accumule, avec une obsession maladive, les vêtements de luxe, les relations enviables. Son vœu le plus cher est de se fondre dans cette foule, de trouver sa place au milieu de ceux auxquels il s'identifie.
American Psycho Notations et commentaires
- Megan Cruz18 mars 2025I’d write a full review but I have to return some video tapes
- rawaz107-20 hIt doesn’t matter if Bateman actually did those things or if he was just imagining them; The important point is that he is dangerous and damaged, but the world around him is so “violating and corrupt” that it allows room for such a person to exist and views him as a normal member.
- CravanThePugilist-3 jI've seen this maybe 4 times over the years? & a shitty musical version of it (I was pretty drunk & don't remember it, just not enjoying it, which is usually the opposite when I'm drunk at musical comedies) live once... & have read the book, which is probably even better than the movie, though I consider the two quite different. Narratively fairly identical, but the tone & seriousness somehow makes me feel like I wouldn't mix the two up in my head. Either way, absolutely classic movie.
- gamer TJ-5 jConfusing in a good way, a lot of different meanings instead of straight forward you have to search or learn about it, it’s deeper than just on the surface that’s the thrill about it.
- The Gutter Monkey23 mars 2025Bateman Begins.
- christinav61-5 jWell, I didn’t really like this
- Hipster ZOMBIE21 février 2025American Psycho is peak Christian Bale. A self absorbed, jealous, cranky, sadistic businessman who compares business card fonts with his friends while listening to Huey Lewis and the News. Is the film really happening? Maybe. Maybe it’s all in the wrapped mind of Bale’s Patrick Bateman character. Either way if it’s having to return video tapes or reserve a table at fancy restrauants, Patrick Bateman finds time to murder and spend his money on hookers. Who he also kills. It’s a brutal dark comedy and I’m here for it.
- Cubane7 avril 2026A source in M&A told me he also spends most of his time at work comparing business cards, pretending to be busy, and committing murder for fun. Film is accurate!
- joeowens5164 avril 2026It was my first time watching it, and it struck me as the kind of movie that demands a rewatch. I loved the unreliable narrator element. Bates may be a killer, he may be insane—he’s probably both—but what stayed with me most was something else. His friends, obsessed with business cards, dinner reservations, designer suits, and status, felt like the real psychos. There’s a lot more to unpack, but that was my initial takeaway.
- darsan29 mars 2026"i simply am not there" holy shit i finally get the true meaning behind this film after watching it for the second time and christian bale's performance in this will always be iconic.
- makdelart19 mars 2026A story about a narcissistic, yuppie psychopath. The film is a poor satire—I’m not really sure what it’s satirising—and it’s just as pretentious as the 1980s it references. Admittedly, the ending tries to add some underlying meaning and depth, but I’m not buying it.
- pixelphantom11 mars 2026This was obviously peak and a masterpiece. I watched this when I was 10 on my DVD player and it was the second movie I've watched. 100000000000000 out of 10
- Sam18 novembre 2025his business card sucked and his taste in business cards sucked too because paul allen's card was also dogshit
- theLillyPad1 juillet 2025Bale's early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Psycho came out in 2000, I think he really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole performance has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the movie a big boost. He's been compared to Daniel Day-Lewis, but I think Bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In 2000, Pressman released this; American Psycho, his most accomplished film. I think its an undisputed masterpiece. A film so memable, most people probably don't pay attention to the message. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the lack of accountability for elites and the effects of unregulated corporatism!
