In the glossy, pre-millennium landscape of 1999, Fight Club arrived not as a whisper, but as a punch to the gut of the American Dream. Directed by David Fincher and based on Chuck Palahniuk’s novel, the film is a savage, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling deconstruction of what it meant to be an American man at the end of the 20th century.
