Kanye West released his highly-anticipated album Yeezus today, and along with it, a short film inspired by a scene in 2000′s American Psycho, where Christian Bale plays banking executive with a psychopathic alter ego. Watch it below.
If you recall the film, the scene that West recreated involves Bale’s character, Patrick Bateman, as raves about Huey Lewis and the News before gruesomely killing Jared Leto‘s Paul Allen with an axe. Kanye cast Scott Disick (from Keeping Up With The Kardashians and a few other reality shows) to play Bale’s role. In the short film, Disick raves about West’s new album, calling it his best work yet. For what it’s worth, Disick (who is a reality TV personality and not a real actor) does a decent job imitating Bale.
Check out the clip:
Also, just in case you haven’t purchased Yeezus yet, you can sample every single song in the album over at SoundCloud. The critics are raving about the record. Rolling Stone‘s Jon Dolan called it:
“An extravagantly abrasive album full of grinding electro, pummeling minimalist hip-hop, drone-y wooz and industrial gear-grind… Every mad genius has to make a record like this at least once in his career – at its nastiest, his makes Kid A or In Utero or Trans all look like Bruno Mars.”
Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that most of things West does (artistically and not) demand attention.
What do you think? Do you find the short film clever?
