DVD - The Informers [Blu-ray]
 "Click to view larger image")
In such works as "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho" Bret Easton Ellis brilliantly dissects contemporary American society, a culture in which too much is never enough.
Now adapting his own acclaimed novel for the screen, he returns to the Los Angeles of the early 1980s with a multi-strand narrative that deftly balances a vast array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con).
Connecting all his intertwining strands are the quintessential Ellis protagonists - a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep and day and party all night, doing drugs - and one another - with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
Filmed with uncommon glamour and grit by acclaimed Australian director Gregor Jordan ("Ned Kelly", "Buffalo Soldiers"), "The Informers" is an alternately blistering and chilling portrait of hedonism run amuck.
