Film scholar Mark Browning offers the first detailed analysis of the work of David Fincher, director of the critically acclaimed films Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
>Mark Browning, PhD, has taught film studies in a number of schools in England and was senior lecturer in education in Bath.
For film studies scholars and enthusiasts, Browning, who has taught
film studies at schools in England, analyzes all of the feature
films of director David Fincher, as well as examples of his
commercials and pop videos. Noting the need for a critical study of
all of his works rather than specific films only, he looks at
commercials and videos by Fincher and their influence on his later
career; how he created roles for strong women in Alien3 and Panic
Room; how he extended the detective genre in Seven and Zodiac; and
how he adapted literary texts in The Game, Fight Club, and The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button; as well as the stylistic features
of each film, general elements, and a comparison to the works of
Brian De Palma.
