A Member’s Choice Film. Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn, unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?
David Fincher castigates modern news journalism for its tendency to perpetuate false narratives and make snap judgements based on limited, biased and out-of-context information. He brings depth and beauty to a supreme slice of genre-bending pulp fiction.
