Over the past few weeks, I've been watching two (fairly) recent films by David Fincher on Netflix. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl are both great, stark films that cause us to reexamine the nature of human relationships. I particularly admire the lead actresses in both films, who both possess a fierce strength that's unforgettable. And the way the films are shot is beautiful as well, with careful attention paid to what is old and what has character. Some of the settings and architecture in Fincher are places you will never forget (see also Zodiac). I hope his next film is as memorable as these were. And I need to check out House of Cards now.
