i would say both the novel and the film are intended and delivered as black comedy, that's not to say that there isn't a serious message.

Other musical highlight of the film for me was the cassette walkman Bateman carries around with him, listening to 'Walking on Sunshine' on the way to work. The club scene with New Order blaring out too, very late 80s

The film is rubbish and not a patch on the book.

But I only say that because the bit in the book where he's running around the room with his cock inside some hooker's decapitated head was cut out of the film.

Lulz, yeah I missed that in the film.
Bret Easton Ellis has always been a ballsy writer.
