4.0 out of 5 stars
at last a recognition for Mr Fincher, August 31, 2003
This review is from: Dark Eye: The Films of David Fincher (Paperback)
For any Fincher admirer, this book is a must have. Not because you'll learn anything you should already know about the man and his movies, but because it will give you an interesting point of view of Mr Fincher's creative process.
James Swallow should be thanked for arguing about the greatest "malentendu" regarding Mr Fincher : no, he's not just another MTV director.
Just reading about his uncompromising choices should convince you (could you ever imagine a hollywood movie with no happy ending? do you ever dream about what "the avengers" could have been in black & white cinemascope? could you, as a relatively unknown director, sell a movie about nihilists?...)
Finally, as a bonus, the book is as sharply edited as Mr Fincher movies.
