David Fincher season

"Fincher's résumé charts a dark and fascinating path. From the doomed Alien 3 through surprise blockbuster Se7en to his undervalued masterpieces Fight Club and Zodiac, Fincher has seldom aligned with public taste, but the film world is a more interesting place thanks to him. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, previewed as part of this retrospective with a Fincher Q&A (18 Jan), sees him attempt a proper emotional drama. Whether it works or not is moot; Fincher's failures are more interesting than the successes of most other directors". Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Ambidextrous rom-com

"Why 500 Days of Summer is the best movie I've screened this year isn't the cast, made up primarily of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, or the tag line ("A Man Who Believes in Love Falls for a Woman Who Very-Much Doesn't") or even the online chatter falsely describing it as a "musical" (which I think we could always use more of anyway). No, why it's the best has more to do with character than with setup; more feeling than exposition. The creators of the movie, first-timer's all around, understand these people (beyond surfaced who-they-are, what-they-want, and how-they-get-it explanations, which dominate the rom-com genre) and, with an assured look at the dating styles of today, created a movie which comments and condemns the current idea of love, sex, and friendship. Oh, and it's really funny". Source: www.firstshowing.net

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel co-star in 500 Days of Summer, what he describes as an "ambidextrous" romantic-comedy. That means it's a good date movie, not just a chick flick".

"Guys want to fall in love as much as girls want to fall in love. They just run into different rules and regulations", Gordon-Levitt says. Source: www.usatoday.com
