The dark hues favoured by fashion designer Tom Ford saturate his new movie, Nocturnal Animals, a palette that fits a neo-noir psychological thriller exploring violence, revenge and divorce.
The film, just opening as a limited release in cinemas, is Ford’s second as a director, following his acclaimed 2009 drama A Single Man. Nocturnal Animals stars Amy Adams as an unhappy gallery owner whose life is turned upside down when she receives a disturbing manuscript from her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal).
Described as an American neo-noir psychological thriller, it has been written, co-produced, and directed by Ford, based on the 1993 novel Tony and Susan by Austin Wright.
The film also stars an ensemble cast such as Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Isla Fisher, Armie Hammer, Laura Linney, Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen.
It was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize.
