Win a copy of The Rules of Attraction on DVD!

June 1st 2009 23:46

Roger Avary's adaptation of the Bret Eston Ellis novel was an audacious move, rejecting parts of the book and daring to film a story about rich, vapid, soulless yuppie kids, with too much money and time on their hands.

Yes! It was an oddly pleasurable movie to watch, with a young cast including Jessica Biel, James Van Der Beek, Shannyn Sossamon and Ian Somerhalder. Avary's interpretation left a lot of humour in the film, as well as a keenly introspective eye into the vacant lives of those too young, too pretty and too rich to have to work for anything.

This schizophrenic trailer may not entice you to watch the film, but suggests the style that Avary aimed for, as well as some of the montage gimmicks that he used in the film.

The DVD is being released in Australia by Icon, and 20/20 Filmsight has 5 copies of the brand new DVD to giveaway!

To win a copy, send your name, address and tell me who you were attracted to, when you were young, but never managed to hook up with. We're soulless, too! Send entries to cibbuano AT orble DOT com.
