Nocturnal Animals
When you love someone you can't just throw it away.
Directed by Tom Ford
Produced by Fade To Black, Artina Films
A dark, meticulously constructed psychological thriller that uses nested narratives to explore regret, betrayal, and the destructive power of unresolved trauma.
Susan Morrow receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband – a man she left 20 years earlier – asking for her opinion of his writing. As she reads, she is drawn into the fictional life of Tony Hastings, a mathematics professor whose family vacation turns violent.
