Nocturnal Animals is one of the modern day classics which grips you till the end and you wonder how did they manage to pull this stunt off so practically and efficiently.
One of the things I loved about it is how the characters use metaphors on other characters as a tool for taking revenge.

Check out how Tom Ford uses metaphors and symbology to portray revenge!

Video analyzed, edited and narrated by Sharad Ananth.
