Item Four: David Fincher; Films That Scar (Book).

Item Four: David Fincher; Films That Scar (Book). Useful book written by Mark Browning, which discusses various sections of his work, including his earlier pieces in commercials and pop videos which allows an insight into the evolution of David Finchers style. The book discusses elements of David Finchers films through linking them together (To Catch a Killer: Seven and Zodiac). The book then breaks the films down to subheadings which pose questions surrounding the narrative and the underlying issues within the movie, whilst constantly referencing to the text and some of his other films as well. The book specifically discusses a link between most of his films, being the bleak narrative and is addressed in a chapter called "A Sense of an Ending-No "Happily Ever After". The book only slightly references David Finchers stylistic approach towards his films, through referencing the narrative.
