09:10, 00:15. Thriller, drama, crime. USA 1999, 139 min. Directed by David Fincher. Starring: Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, Meat Loaf, Jared Leto. In English with Russian subtitles. This cult classic film that transformed the minds of Generation X returns to the big screen. Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name, David Fincher created a complex phantasmagorical construction based on bitter disappointment in the American drama and the hopeless search for lost manhood. The result was a brash mix of outstanding filmmaking, sharp satire, dark philosophy, and a death sentence to the contemporary culture of consumption, which is no less relevant today than when it was released 20 years ago.
