American Animals est un film policier américain écrit et réalisé par Bart Layton, sorti en 2018. Le film est présenté au festival du film de Sundance 2018.

Synopsis

Pour Spencer et Warren, deux fils de bonne famille, leur avenir semble déjà être tracé. Ils finiront, comme la plupart des étudiants fortunés comme eux, à Lexington, au Kentucky. Pour tromper leur ennui existentiel et mettre du piment à leur vie ennuyeuse, ils décident d'organiser un cambriolage audacieux : celui de la bibliothèque de l’Université Transylvania où Spencer étudie. Ils désirent voler des livres rares dont les trois gros volumes du classique de John James Aububon, "Birds of America" qui vaut à lui seul près de 12 millions de dollars, pour ensuite les revendre sur le marché noir. Rejoints par le sportif Chas et le mathématicien Eric, la bande se demande si leur recherche de sensations fortes va vraiment donner un sens à leur existence. Lorsqu'ils ont enfin un semblant de réponse, le point de non-retour est franchi et ils ne peuvent plus faire marche arrière.

Bourdin, who turned out to have a long record of impersonating various children, real or imaginary, embellished his claim to be Nicholas Barclay by alleging that he had been kidnapped for purposes of sexual abuse by Mexican, European, and U.S. military personnel and transported from Texas to Spain. His impersonation fooled several officials in Spain and the U.S., and he was apparently accepted by many of Barclay's family members, even though he was seven years older than Barclay, spoke with a French accent, and had brown eyes and dark hair rather than Barclay's blue eyes and blonde hair. The impersonation was eventually unearthed as a result of the suspicions of a private investigator, Charles (Charlie) Parker, and an FBI agent, Nancy Fisher. Bourdin subsequently made a full confession, and in the film he elaborates on the various stages in his impersonation.
