- Synopsis
- A group of wealthy young art students organize parties, the main ingredients of which are drugs, alcohol and sex. The action takes place in a New England art school, where the story follows three main characters under their points of view: Sean Bateman, Patrick Bateman's brother and drug dealer, Lauren Hynde, a virgin girl whose every relationship goes wrong, and Paul Denton, bisexual and ex-boyfriend of Lauren... Adapted from a novel by the controversial Bret Easton Ellis ("Less than Zero" and "American Psycho"), this is a shattering portrait of America's rich youth.

"Looks and feels like a bad imitation of 'Trainspotting' without any of that film's wit or charm"
