CineTalks | Nocturnal Animals: Why Love Hurts

Nocturnal Animals - Does This Film Reveal The Secret To Why Love Hurts?

Psychology Talk Followed by a screening of Nocturnal Animals - starring Jake Gyllenhall.

Have you ever wanted to take revenge on your partner, or maybe even an ex-lover? Is it only true love when you want payback? Why do psychologists find that revenge fantasies are our favourite mental preoccupations? Do men and women retaliate from hurt in different ways? Is getting hurt the inevitable price we pay for love?

Can you get the answers to these questions from one of the most enigmatic recent film releases this year, directed by fashion designer Tom Ford and starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal?

Nocturnal Animals has been a critically acclaimed cross between a stylish thriller and a gripping romance, yet so far it seems the critics can’t decide what the film is really about. But everyone who has seen it agrees it’s one of the most entertaining thrill rides of recent years.

Come along and watch a full screening of the movie, then take part in a talk followed by a discussion with the audience about the psychology behind love, passion and revenge, with Harley Street Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Raj Persaud, best -selling author of ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ and ‘Simply Irresistible – The Psychology of Seduction’. Don’t get mad, get even.

Venue: JW3, North Finchley

Doors will open at 6.30pm

The talk will begin promptly at 7pm.
