Direct - Wes Anderson – Prologue
Wes Anderson is the next director we’ll be covering on Direct. Known for his highly-stylized fables about immaturity, family, obscurity, and hope, Anderson has created a name for himself as a stand-out filmmaker. He’s also been nominated for 6 Academy Awards, but has yet to win one.
Direct - David Fincher – Epilogue
Our time with Fincher has come to a close. What a wonderful filmography. Well done, sir.
Direct - David Fincher – House of Cards 101 & 102
We broke the rules! We’re bringing you bonus Fincher coverage from the first two episodes of House of Cards. Fincher’s ground-breaking streaming television series brings the same tension as his cinematic pursuits to the small screen. It contains many Fincher-isms, call backs to his films, and an epic foreshadowing scene. Entertaining stuff.
Direct - David Fincher – Gone Girl
Gone Girl is three movies in one. At one point, it’s a mystery. Then, it turns into a thriller. Then, a melodrama. But what really makes this movie is its masterful villain. Gone Girl has one of the best antagonists caught on film. The movie is able to take a fantastical plot and ground it in cold, comfortable, plodding dread. It is a testament to the quality that Fincher demands of his work. Bravo.
