Tom Ford directs Nocturnal Animals and Amy Adams, who he professes to be “a female version of me”, and goes onto describe “The absurdity” of “my head inside the artist, I fell in love with these women, my true self… and the red velvet sofa”, not surprisingly as Ford’s designs on colour furnish the production, and go as far as to bring inspiration to actor Jake Gyllenhaal’s reading for his role from “a hue of red paper, the metaphor of heartbreak playing itself out, and a peculiar shade of colour to the script”. Actor Aaron Taylor Johnson accepts a part, saying “Take me on that journey, puppeteer me forward”, whilst Amy Adams sits by Tom Ford he confesses “I have fantasies of revenge but just the thought of it is not satisfying”.
