David Fincher's Zodiac: Cinema of Investigation and (Mis)Interpretation (The Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Series in Law, Culture, and the Humanities)

David Fincher's Zodiac: Cinema of Investigation and (Mis)Interpretation (The Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Series in Law, Culture, and the Humanities)

Christopher Weedman
0/5 ( ratings)
David Fincher’s Zodiac , written by producer James Vanderbilt and adapted from the true crime works of Robert Graysmith, remains one of the most respected films of the early twenty-first century. As the second film featuring a serial killer by Fincher, Zodiac remains a standout in a varied but stylistically unified career. While connected to this genre, the film also hybridizes the policier genre and the investigative reporter film. And yet, scholarship has largely ignored the film. This collection is the first book-length work of criticism dedicated to the film. Section One focuses on early influences, while the second section analyzes the film’s unique treatment of narrative. The book closes with a section focusing on game theory, data and hegemony, the Zodiac’s treatment in music, and the use of sound in cinema. By offering new avenues and continuing a few established ones, this book will interest scholars of cinema and true crime along with fans and enthusiasts in these areas.
