Life at Camden arts college in New England is a pretty full on affair. There's pitifully little time for the basics, such as sleeping and eating, so relentlessly busy are the students in their tireless endeavour to shag anything, drink everything and consume all narcotics so far known to man. The man whose book this is an adaptation of, Bret Easton Ellis, claims that this comes closest of them all to portraying the world he created in his novels. 'Rules of Attraction' is a dark, nihilistic, amoral and often very funny, if disturbing, take on campus life, that confused the critics, but has established somewhat of a cult following.
