David Fincher. His darkly meticulous and brilliant eye has distinguished him as one of the great directors of contemporary American cinema. With a reputation as a controlling and exacting auteur, the result is a career spanning three decades of stories exploring the psyche of the alienated in all of us and the thrills that come from observing that. Together we\u2019ll be in for the ride that is his earliest work, latest work, and the defining works in between.<\/p>\n
