With the same precision rolling his films, with the typical smoothness of a knife edge, David Fincher (Denver, Colorado, 1962) dissected Monday to a group of film students love her-or, rather, his passion for the craft . Obsessive and meticulous filmmaker, the guy who repudiated schools just because I wanted to learn from your mistakes, that he did not want to look like or their teachers or anyone and gained inimitable masterpieces as Zodiac and The Social Network opened the course of the School of Arts and Entertainment TAI with a speech in which he gave a bunch of tips and, above all, an ultimate sense of duty as a filmmaker: “The it’s not just a perfectionist is vague, “he said. “It’s a huge responsibility for someone to pay attention for two hours, they will give your eyes, your ears and your mind, so out of respect all the work will never be enough”
The perfectionist is that it is not just a vague
David Fincher
Seated on a white leather chair by Mies Van der Rohe, without drinking from the small bottle of water that was at his feet, the director of Seven deployed some key this powerful mixture of cunning and visionary classicism enclosing much of his work. “Cinema is a risky, imperfect and emotional environment, and all this must, in some way, feel in a movie,” he explained. Earlier, the host of the event, one of the leaders of the school, the critic Carlos Reviriego, had asked if the guest coincided with a year ago, David Lynch, who in the same classroom said that for him the most important is never give the final cut of a movie. “I disagree,” said Fincher. “The most important thing in a movie is to articulate your intentions as accurately as possible, namely the ability to explain, namely seduce the writers, actors and team marketing with your idea . I do not care to hold on to a legal ruse to achieve my final wishes, what interests me is to understand others fit what ideas and what not in this movie. No more control that seduction, that’s much more interesting than cover their ears and appeal to a paper you keep in your pocket. A film is a team process, not a one watercolor painting at home alone. “
Mixed among students as they listened Borja Cobeaga Spanish directors, Eduardo Chapero-Jackson, and Daniel Berger Monsoon. “He talks like his films, rigorous and elegant, transmits taste for their craft,” said the director of child. Fincher, to whom we owe some of the video more paradigmatic MTV (the Vogue Madonna or Freedom of George Michael) was debuted in failure: Alien 3 Deny a bump yet made it to grow: “I was 27 and I was waiting for my chance. And of course, no one warns you of the mess that you venture to make a sequel that costs millions. I could talk about Tarkovsky and my intentions, to make a different movie from the above, but when the truth did not want anything other than the first two. “
No again lost the game. Fincher learned that a film is “a three-dimensional chess” in which everything must balance and be of service to the film, and that includes the actors. “I greatly admire your work, but do not put them on a pedestal. I believe in a relationship as equals. I want to give everything for the film, and not talking about sweat. “
Rara avis within the Hollywood system (” Movies are only destructive pornography become “), create that the success of the series is due in large part to have become the last stronghold to develop characters. He, following his own path within the system, releases Lost (October 10 in Spain), last filigree of a director who shows all the weight on his back: “Not always right but I have always clear is that nobody cares about the movie as much as me. ” Based on the bestseller Gillian Flynn, Lost tells the disappearance of a young wife on their fifth wedding anniversary. He narrated in two voices, that of the missing woman (Rosamund Pike) and his suspicious husband (Ben Affleck), is advertised as a thriller psychological. Fincher, who moves comfortably in the pathologies of contemporary society, he explains where the real hook for his new story: “What interested me about the novel is that he spoke of narcissism that encases the entire relationship. That reflection of ourselves in which both we like looking at us until, last year, three, five, reflection begins to blur caused us enormous anger and bewilderment that letting to recognize ourselves in the other we find that it has become a perfect stranger. “
