Summary of Special Premiere 25 Years of Fight Club
The first rule of the special edition? You need to talk about it to those around you!
1999 was a great year for American cinema, and among the works that marked this exceptional vintage, there is Fight Clubof David Fincherwith Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham-Carter… To properly celebrate its 25th anniversary, this satire of consumer society is at the heart of our special issue First No. 25.
Adored by fans, hated by part of the public, often misunderstood, this fairly free adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s shocking novel caused a lot of ink to flow upon its release… and subsequently.
Fight Club: why this film remains a unique masterpiece
At the house of Firstwe immediately defended this film, well before the release of his cult DVD, whose libretto was filled with murderous criticism. Norton and Pitt had answered our questions as a duodaring to break the first rule of Fight Club to talk about it at length and breadth in our pages.
This special issue is part of the logic of this first unforgettable discovery of Fight Club. Starting from a flashback file (the film seen in 1999), the editorial team then offers you a long interview with its producer, Bill Mechanicthen focuses on everyone who made this film possible: the marginal author Chuck Palahniuk, the superstar Brad Pitt, the actor ready to explode everything Edward Norton, but also “the girl” played by Helena Bonham Carter or the Pixies hit, “Where is my Mind”now eternally associated with this cult film.
The 25th special issue of First has just arrived on newsstands. Good reading !
