Rules of Attraction
- Rating:
- Director: Roger Avary
- Starring: James Van Der Beek
- Details: US / 110 mins / (18).
Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, this is a cold and clinical deconstruction of a cold and clinical generation. Director Avary pulls no punches in depicting his characters' arid, soulless existence, creating a film that is thrilling and chilling in equal measures.
