Even though the first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about Fight Club, since its premiere much has been talked and written about this milestone od modern cinema. On one hand it has been criticized as macho propaganda, but at the same time it was lauded as a subversive generational satire poking fun at the crisis of masculinity in the age after the sexual revolution and the acceptance of women's right to orgasm. According to the ratings at IMDB it ranks among the Top 20 films amongst men and women equally, which certainly is not just because Brad Pitt is featured shirtless frequently. Director David Fincher has transformed Chuck Palahniuk's edgy and multileveled original novel into a phenomenally crafted and resonating portrait of the internal psychological conflict of the central character, who finds answers to all problem personified in the charismatic and seemingly perfect tempter named Tyler Durden. The multilayered and sarcastically entertaining vision of the chaos of our society at the turn of the century, drowning itself in egoism, consumerism and self-pity, is fleshed out by an incredible cast headed by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter. Much like its own audience, David Fincher's complex, provocative and ambitious film matures with time.
