Fight Club

Directed by: David Fincher 

With: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham-Carter

introduction by Professor Louis Hyman (ILR)

From the director of Seven, this dark, stylized film centers on a young man (Norton) who abandons the pristine office space and restrained behavior of his white-collar job for the grit (and blood) of Tyler Durden's (Brad Pitt) Fight Club, an underground society where men re-discover and tap into the well of savage masculinity. "This bold, inventive, sustained adrenaline rush of a movie about a guru who advocates brutality and mayhem should excite and exhilarate young audiences everywhere." (Variety) 35mm 'Scope
