Review of Se7en (1995) by Walkabout_88 — 28 Apr 2015
Twenty years after its initial release, David Fincher’s sophomore remains an immensely powerful thriller who shaped and was shaped by the 90s, a plus being one of the few not sourced from a novel. Its script, sharp and full of great pacing, greatly holds up to this day.
As seminal as they get, Se7en also informs the director’s work to come: from the NIN collaboration on the soundtrack, to the camera movements. Fincher’s direction is distinguishable though it’s less controlled than the one we have grown accustomed to in the subsequent decades, and all the more beautiful for that same reason.
