Even if you are not a fashion lover, you must have heard the name "Tom Ford" at least once in your modern life. And many of you have probably also heard that the man who has always been at the forefront of the fashion industry is also a film director. However, he has not directed a movie since his first film, "Single Man" (2009).
After a long time, the director's second film, "The Last of Us," will be released on November 3 (Friday), 2012.Nocturnal Animals.is now available to the public.
Once again, it is a far cry from a fake movie made by someone outside the gate. This is evidenced by the 89th Academy Award® nomination for Best Supporting Actor (Michael Shannon), the 74th Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and the Grand Jury Prize at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival.
~STORY~.
Susan, who is financially well off, but is unfulfilled in her relationship with her husband, receives a shocking novel sent to her by her ex-husband, whom she left 20 years ago. Susan, who had despised her ex-husband for his mental weakness, reads in the novel that he had sent her an extraordinary talent that she had never been exposed to before, and she begins to hope for a reunion. Why did he send her the novel? Is it a love that still remains, or is it revenge?
What kind of director is Tom Ford, who comes from outside the film industry? Here is a video in which the great actors who appear in the film testify to his mastery. 1:24 is the beginning of the video.
The film is a battle of performances by great actors, a screenplay and plot that connects the past, present, novel & real world without any sense of discomfort, aesthetics that are well thought out at every corner of the screen, and a story line that shakes various things such as ethics and views on life. The film is at once suspenseful, horror-like, a human drama, and a beautiful painting. Some people compare this film to the films of David Lynch and Cronenberg.
Unlike a boring movie that is only beautiful, it pulls you into its beautiful nightmarish world with overwhelming force like a roller coaster. We don't know when we will be able to see filmmaker Tom Ford's next film. If that is the case, there is no way to avoid seeing this film at the cinema first!
