Fight Club (1999)
Country: US/GER
Technical: Technicolor/Super 35 139m
Director: David Fincher
Cast: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf Aday
Synopsis:
A risk assessor for an insurance company who has the perfect Ikea apartment is driven to schizophrenia by the lack of true experience in his life and embarks on a series of anarchic coups against society, centred around an underground organisation of bare-knuckle fighters which he has co-founded with his other self.
Review:
Another dark thriller from this director with a conundrum at its heart, and in its way just as socially critical as Se7en was. Here it is not so much moral turpitude that society is accused of, as an emasculation of the male via unnecessary consumer comforts. Fight Club puts the characters back in touch with their bodies and their feelings. Visually it is an astounding tour de force of digital tricks, impossible tracks and subliminal image flashes
