Review of Less Than Zero (1987) by Jason Y — 28 Apr 2005

[b]VHS[/b] First Viewing, 2 Kanievska films seen.

Novelist Bret Easton Ellis was so embarassed with this film, an adaptation of his novel of the same name, he didn't attend the premiere. While I did not really dislike the film, I doubt it really told the same story that Ellis wrote in his novel. I haven't read the book, but [i]American Psycho[/i] and [i]The Rules of Attraction[/i] were both important satirical films. [i]Less than Zero[/i] left no mark on me, except for the Bangles' song during the opening credits! Just kidding, that's a bit harsh. I really liked some of the performances, too.
