High art, potboiler crime, and lingering heartache are the ingredients of Tom Ford‘s upcoming “Nocturnal Animals,” an ambitious, glossy movie that walks a knife-edge of camp and gritty drama in what’s easily one of the more unique awards season offerings. And four new clips from the movie highlight the differing sensibilities found within the picture.

Starring Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Shannon, the narrative centers around an art gallery owner (Adams), who is sent an early copy of the new novel by her ex-husband (Gyllenhaal). As she reads the story, she becomes affected by seamy crime story he’s written, which sees an unscrupulous Texas sheriff (Shannon) going to any lengths necessary to solve a particularly tough case. And this quartet of scenes are a good taste of what to expect.
“Nocturnal Animals” opens on November 25th.
