Detail-loving Fincher creates the story with perfection: brilliant, deep, philosophical - I will rewatch countless times!

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2019)

Finally I saw the movie and I must say - I was IMPRESSED. I expected nothing more than an action flick (clearly I do not know Fincher 's style for real... it was my second Fincher film, and I will watch all after them! ) and it was so, so much more.
Honestly, how many times have you seen a movie that, with every viewing, gets even more complicated yet so simple that you can't help but laugh. There's the tiny issue of the story of Fight Club, penned by Chuck Palahniuk the story is nothing short of incredible, a pure shock-value social commentary on the state of the world at the end of the century. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll do all the clichés but most importantly you'll identify with every single thing on the screen.
FINCHER has an incredible skill of locking the viewer into the actor (by following EXACTLY the actor's movements, making the motion interlock with the acted-out emotions of the actors). He is a genius on using music, drama and humor each time it is needed... there is so many deep and light, humorous scenes, it is like a roller coaster.
Each shot is well laid out and designed, always struck with detail, texture, color, composition to fit the actual message. Fincher is an EXPERT (as I read after) in blending in the FX / CGI into the real material, creating the best illusions that are better / deeper than reality - and it shows in the film. Each scene is detailed, but in a subtle way that does not give away it's secrets straight away.
I love the set design as well, the choice of worn out buildings, glas high rise apartments, boredom-dripping office spaces - a believable world of US cities that still tells a nearly unreal suburbia vibe.
This is perfection and I will rewatch this COUNTLESS times!
