Foreword by Bong Joon-ho From feature films Alien 3 , Se7en , The Game , Fight Club , Panic Room , Zodiac , The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , The Social Network , The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo , Gone Girl , and Mank through his MTV clips for Madonna and the Rolling Stones and the Netflix series House of Cards and Mindhunter , each chapter of David Fincher: Mind Games weaves production history with original critical analysis, as well as with behind the scenes photography, still-frames, and original illustrations from Little White Lies’ international team of artists and graphic designers. The book also features interviews with Fincher’s frequent collaborators, including Jeff Cronenweth, Angus Wall, Laray Mayfield, Holt McCallany, Howard Shore, and Erik Messerschmidt. Grouping the director’s work around themes of procedure, imprisonment, paranoia, prestige and relationship dynamics, David Fincher: Mind Games is styled as an investigation into a filmmaker obsessed with investigation, and the design will shift to echo case files within a larger psychological profile. Adam Nayman is the author of Paul Thomas Anderson: Masterworks (Abrams, 2020) and The Coen Brothers: This Book Really Ties the Films Together (Abrams, 2018) and is a contributing editor to Cinema Scope . Little White Lie s is one of the world’s pre-eminent film magazines, pairing a unique editorial angle with beautiful illustrations and world-class design.
