Human behavior is complex and fanatic, and David Fincher dedicates his work to uncover what makes us tick.
David Fincher’s films are glimpses into the director’s perspective of the world and himself. Through the actions and psychologies of all of the clockmakers, hackers, terrorists, detectives, and serial killers, there is a small piece of Fincher in there, obsessed with how his worlds look and function.
Adam Nayman writes in his new book, Mind Games, about Fincher’s films’ complex visual tone, and the often misunderstood or dismissed works. From music videos to advertisements to Academy Award-winning films, Nayman critically engages with all of Fincher’s work to figure out why Fincher keeps returning to the same themes over and over again.
