This is Not an Exit: The Fictional World of Bret Easton Ellis

When “American Psycho” was released early in 2000 it reaffirmed author Bret Easton Ellis as the controversial “bad boy” of contemporary American Fiction. “This is Not an Exit” reveals the world inhabited by Ellis and his fictional characters, and explores the main themes of Ellis’ books – the MTV generation, pop culture of the ‘80’s, the drugs and nightlife scene, and the obsession of current culture with glamour, fashion and wealth. The filmmakers also create mischief by dramatizing selected scenes from Ellis’ novels, including “Less Than Zero” and “American Psycho”.
