James N. Kienitz Wilkins uses 35mm Hollywood film stills to interrogate the long-term effects of cinephilia in this witty, off-beat trial of the moving image.
Gen X disillusionment builds to a blow-it-all-up primal scream in David Fincher's gut-punching insta-classic. Edward Norton is a soul-dead yuppie who finds he only feels alive when he's getting beaten to a pulp by Brad Pitt's charmingly nihilistic Tyler Durden—and it turns out lots of other men feel the same way. Fight Club is both a tour de force of visceral filmmaking and a wickedly funny treatise on violence, masculinity, consumerism, and 90s alienation.
