Every Fincher movie looks like Fight Club


that brownish lit hue look.. ,

the brownness and darkness of the interior of the houses, the neon night streets etc

Fight Club, Seven, Alien3 were drenched in shadow and brown hues, but he’s opened up the palate since. Zodiac is remarkably colourful for a Fincher, those early shots have shocks of bright yellow everywhere, which later turn to blue (check the colour of the pillars in The Chronicle office).

Zodiac is full of daytime scenes, and the creepiest murder is 10x more disturbing because it’s shot in a postcard-perfect daylight nature setting.

Panic Room was quite green, Dragon Tattoo is bright white, and Gone Girl is blue with a toasty yellow for interiors. So he has experimented throughout his career but I’d say there is still a ‘Fincher look’ which is a very clean, sharp, precise, stable image with muted colours (or no colours in the case of Manc)

Excited to see what he does with The Killer.

Are we supposed to be unhappy with Fincher's signature visual style? FO
