Se7en
In this episode we look at David Fincher's second film from 1995 Se7en.
Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, Se7en is a gritty detective story based in an unnamed city where a serial killer is taking his victims in the style of the seven deadly sins.
A classic of its type that is still copied today. Infused with music from Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie it still holds up as one of Fincher's best and most important films.
