The novel's protagonist Tony Hastings ( also Jake Gyllenhall) *wink* *wink* is forced off the highway by thugs who kidnap his wife and daughter for obscure reasons. It is titled Nocturnal Animals and dedicated to her. So, Nocturnal Animalsis the story of Susan Morrow ( Amy Adams), a wealthy and cynical art gallery owner in Los Angeles who receives a novel manuscript from her estranged ex-husband Edward Sheffield ( Jake Gyllenhaal) after nineteen years of silence. It's bonkers and I loved it because it was bonkers. But it's exactly what Nocturnal Animalsis. If someone would've told me that killer highway suspense and metafiction could seamlessly blend in a movie, I would've laughed them out of the room. It's a crass, provocative and horribly bent movie with great artistic ambition. Nocturnal Animalsis not quite the slick, but standard martial breakdown thriller is appears to be. It's just there, daring you to keep watching. Needless to say, I loved it. It doesn't have anything to do whatsoever with the movie. Tom Ford's latest movie Nocturnal Animals begins with a montage of three solid minutes of naked obese women mercilessly shaking their junk at the screen in slow motion.
