2009 will start with a bang at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, where seven movies directed and chosen by cult director David Fincher will appear over the first four days of the new year. Culminating in his latest movie, the unwieldy (but promising) adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, this impressive lineup should be a must see for any fans of the filmmaker. The classic movies filling out the bill are equally distinguished, and were highly influential for Fincher. The lineup will include:
- Se7en (Fincher, 1995)
- Mary Poppins (Robert Stevenson, 1964)
- Fight Club (Fincher, 1999)
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (George Roy Hill, 1969)
- Zodiac (Fincher, 2007)
- Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974)
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Fincher, 2008) (Trailer)
Visit the Film Society of Lincoln Center's website for more information and tickets. I'll be at Chinatown (5:15pm, 1/3/09) and Button (3pm, 1/4/09), get at me if you want to come along!
