A
collection of Brett Easton Ellis' short stories is brought to the screen in a compendium which is closer to Southland Tales than it is to Short Cuts.
Set in 1980's Los Angeles, it follows a group of alienated
characters and their issues with casual sex, alcohol and drug addictions, but in a really boring way.
If you can stay awake through this, you've done very
well.
