Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999)
An insomniac office worker looking for a way to
change his life crosses paths with a devil-may-care soap maker and they form an
underground fight club that evolves into something much, much more...
From my generation, the 25-35 years old people of today, Fight Club represents one of the Canons
of contemporary Cinema along with films like Pulp Fiction, Snatch, Requiem For a Dream, and Donnie Darko. This is a big studio piece
of auteur film that challenges some and seduces others. Coming from director
David Fincher (with previous films such as Se7en,
The Game, Alien 3, and notable music videos), we have a misanthropic view on
the post-modern world of lonerism and how it can alienate people who won’t fit
into society.
