Product Information

While he is skeptical at first, he does and the two discover that they feel alive after their fight, and decide to do it more often. David Fincher's 'Fight Club,' ten years on, is just as cutting edge and in-your-face as it was a decade ago.

Fincher has been responsible for two of the best Blu-ray discs this year (with 'Zodiac' and 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'), and now he's responsible for a third. Considering the lackluster FIGHT CLUB offerings in metal packaging in the UK this feels like a breathe of fresh air . Both these things could be explained by frequency selective contrast boosting which would make both more visible. An insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soapmaker form an underground fight club that evolves into something much, much more.It is not the most favored in the series for most, but it has a distinct personality and is a shocking contrast to the other entries in the series. It’s so grimy and primordial that many years after its release, the ripple effect of its power can still be felt within cinema itself.

While I expected more energy from him, I still found the track to be filled with information and anecdotes.This is a great inclusion, and really shows the level of detail to be found within the house and the movie as well. Fight club was photographed by Jeff Cronenweth, a then hot and upcoming Cinematographer who until that point hadn’t shot a major feature, but did have the advantage of being Bladerunner cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth’s son.

They find their release from the prison of reality through underground fight clubs, where men can be what the world denies them. Best know for her work in English type dramas, such as Howard’s End, A Room With A View, A Merry War, and so on, she makes the transition to skank perfectly.Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. There are a few moments which look somewhat muddy, but that is most likely an aesthetic decision rather than a fault of the transfer. A text screen describing what the scene is, and why it was changed or deleted precedes each scene in this section.
