Nightcrawler (2014)

Jake Gyllenhaal's cadaverous "nightcrawler", Lou Bloom - a good part Norman Bates and good part Patrick Bateman - trawls grim scenes as a crime/accident papparazzo in this darkly humorous satire, not a satire of the moral bankruptcy of tv news so much as a satire looking at the bloodthirstiness and heartlessness of the corporately/financially driven.

★★★★☆
