Charlie Siem likes luxury cars, grand hotels and tailored clothes. He is fanatical about taking care of his body and settles for nothing less than perfection. Looking into the camera, he even unironically claims to want to be superhuman. A wealthy heir, internationally successful classical violinist and freshly minted Hugo Boss model, this gentle American Psycho is obsessed with success and recognition. But behind his unflappable exterior, seductive smile and perfectly sculpted body is an anxiety-ridden, deeply lonely man, observed by Eva Mulvad’s camera with a keen mix of distance and empathy. Welcome to the world of a man of his time, the disquieting product of an age in which nothing matters more than visible overachievement.
