Director Tom Ford’s second film, based on the book Tony and Susan by
Austin Wright, follows a Los Angeles gallery owner who is shaken by the arrival
of a novel by her ex that imagines a couple who come to a violent end. It has a
fairly wild way to open a film, and what follows is no less surprising, as we
flit between a glossy LA high-life and a gritty Texan murder mystery, the lines
of fiction and reality blurred. Nocturnal Animals looks extraordinary, but its
real power lies beyond the visual.
