The Killer (Fincher 8)
Added 2024-09-04 02:44:01 +0000 UTCIn a new installment of their series on David Fincher, Thomas and Brett cover The Killer, Fincher's 2023 hitman thriller starring Michael Fassbender. They discuss Fincher's continued preoccupation with psychopathy and the dark self archetype, the film's hints concerning deep state conspiracies and the Thelemic religion of Hollywood, and its surprising thematic connections to Fincher's previous film, Mank. Just as Oppenheimer confirmed the show's conclusions about Nolan, The Killer totally validates the Psyop Cinema reading of Fincher.

Grew up a big fan of Se7en, had a profound impact on me aesthetically, regrettably so, finchers grown tiresome but as soon as i heard the Crowley quote I turned it off. Its all so hack and trite. Great ep!
