FILM REVIEW: HIT IT OR SKIP IT? TOM FORD'S NOCTURNAL ANIMALSAmy Adams stars as Susan Marrow, a wealthy, immaculately dressed but bored and unsatisfied gallery owner in Tom Ford’s second movie Nocturnal Animals. Opening the movie to a set of obese naked women shown as live art at the opening of Susan’s gallery, we are instantly introduced to the inner workings of Susan’s psyche. A yearning to show the inner truth of the world she lives in, a world far away from perfect, and a desire to break from the seemingly outwardly idyllic life she leads.
EAST MEETS WEST AT NOCTURNEI first came across Nocturne when I was browsing Instagram one day as I was on the hunt to discover new designers and stand out companies to feature. Falling into the ‘Instagram hole’ I came across a stunning statement necklace on one account, tapping the ‘tagged photo’ I saw Nocturne’s name pop up.
The piece of jewelry I found myself admiring was unlike anything I’d seen before so I quickly jumped on Nocturne’s account, before hitting the Internet to begin researching the company and as I did I fell in love even more.
