(David Fincher, US 1995, 127 min.)

In a nameless, constantly rainy city, two detectives (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) hunt a serial killer who fancies himself a modern-day messenger of God’s judgment. The film’s striking widescreen composition, chiaroscuro lighting dynamics, and arresting title design combine to create Hollywood’s most inspired neo-noir in decades.
