Watch the Great David Fincher talk about Film: A Life in Pictures

I feel lucky to be living in a time when David Fincher is making great films, dark, smart and now, funny. Gone Girl, Fincher’s highest grossing film to date, just sailed past the $165 million mark. If you’ve never heard Fincher speak about movies, you’re in for a treat. There are few films that have stuck with me this year as much as Gone Girl has. That isn’t a surprise, given Fincher is one of the best directors currently working — needless to say — who has not yet won an Oscar (their problem, not his).
