ORANGE Reviews: “Gone Girl”

October 19, 2014

When David Fincher made the switch from film to digital, he became the Hollywood filmmaker. Much like Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Howard Hawks, Fincher perfectly walks the line between art and entertainment. Hitchcock was known for building suspense, Preminger for understanding the power of fascination and Hawks for his obsession with masculinity. Put all these traits into one guy and you get Fincher, whose films post-Zodiac (his first movie shot digitally) are meticulously constructed down to the last detail. His latest film “Gone Girl” is no exception.
