Designer Tom Ford's second directorial outing, Nocturnal Animals, ticks off all the boxes: a doomed romance, a beautiful but damaged lead and menacing, slack-jawed bad guys with a cowboy vibe. But it's Ford's eye for arresting visuals that will put this film over the edge, as evidenced by its slick, seductive new trailer above.
Nocturnal Animals follows a divorced couple as they uncover each others' dark pasts. The majority of the film takes place in the American Southwest, but its sleek surfaces and recurrent use of red wouldn't look out of place in an Italian fashion ad.Based on the 1993 novel Tony and Susan, Nocturnal Animals tells the story of a woman (Amy Adams) who’s haunted by the novel of her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal), which sounds like a plan for revenge. The film is an adaptation of the novel “Tony and Susan” written by Austin Wright. It tells a love-strained story of a woman (Amy Adams) whose life starts to mirror the sadistic novel her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal) wrote and dedicated to her. While she (Adams) is terrified by the violence and torture written about her, she admits to “doing something horrible to him.” This divorced couple will uncover dark-truths about themselves and one another in their twisted love-affair
