NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
Watchable. The opening sequence is striking. I read its symbolism as the ugly naked truth of America which gets flaunted constantly one scene after another. The film consists of two stories. I liked the "real-life" one about relationships in love, family, at work and it being set partly in art galleries (fragment of my world too). The "fictitious" tale is boring, especially its initial violently dynamic bit. Random violence is so cliche in American movies. It gets better when the police officer-victim bond is created and when the investigation progresses. The whole film ending is astonishing. Superb cinematography underlines the sharp contrast between the high life in the "reality" and the torching sun as well as dimly lit night in the Texas desert in the "fiction".
