Schrader tells IndieWire all of this reaction to modern celebrity only feeds into his movie’s point, as he claims The Canyons is “cinema for the post-theatrical era.” The director tells the site, “These people are all talking about making a movie but they don’t really care about movies.” The movie, on a grand scheme, might actually be about the end of movies, in general.
And yet, the director’s confident that – despite negative buzz – the movie will resonate with audience if and when they’re able to see it.
I thought it was a fascinating meeting of the minds between Paul Schrader and Bret Easton Ellis,” Scott Foundas, lead critic at the Village Voice, said after a private screening. “You could almost describe it as a cross between American Psycho and American Gigolo. These are minor characters on the fringe of the Hollywood scene, all equally desperate and engaging in various forms of psychological and sexual manipulation.”
