Larry Gross on ZODIAC (David Fincher, 2007)
I'm going to be back later this week with my thoughts on the recently
released ZODIAC: Director's Cut, but first, I thought it would be
useful to point out a favourite review of the film. It's written by
screenwriter Larry Gross for Movie City News, and it's located here.
Gross' take is an incisive, exploratory look into the very formal
properties that make up the Fincher film, and his thoughts on how it's
an autocritique of the earlier SE7EN (a film I actually dislike) make
it simply some of the best writing on film in the year 2007 (critic
Bill Krohn makes a similar statement in his review for "Cahiers du
Cinema", but unfortunately, there's no easy hyperlink, though I
heartily recommend purchasing the May 2007 "online" version at the
website if you're more than curious).
