American Psycho Q&A with director Mary Harron

An LRB Screen event, the London Review Bookshop’s long-running film series exploring of the art of literary adaption in partnership with MUBI. Sam Kinchin-Smith, the LRB’s head of special projects, is joined by Mary Harron (via video link), who co-wrote the screenplay to American Psycho, and began her career as a writer – as one of the punk and post-punk eras’ most brilliant music critics. Her filmography includes striking portraits of major counter-cultural figures – Valerie Solanas, Bettie Page and the Manson family, among others – as well as the Netflix adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace. American Psycho is the first of this year’s six special screenings: Mary Harron’s elegantly controlled adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis controversial – and bestselling – satirical horror novel, published in 1991. A vividly inventive feminist reading of the voids at the heart of consumerism, corporate capital and late-century metropolitan culture, it stars Christian Bale in his breakthrough role, with a score by John Cale and a supporting cast drawn from the finest US independent actors. The shadow of Donald Trump looms large throughout its prophetic account of American carnage.
