It’s time to present the César d’honneur to director David Fincher. Virginie Efira enters the stage of the Césars. “How I love you, and I know that this surge of love is shared by the French public! »
In the 1970s, David Fincher was a child and lived with his family in Northern California. One day, over breakfast, his father, a journalist, peacefully detailed to him a change for which he might not have been prepared, namely the presence in the region of an assassin, dubbed “the Zodiac Killer”. “I remember asking him what those police cars were doing that flanked our school bus buses. He had explained to me that a killer equipped with a spyglass planned to kill children who were leaving for school early in the morning. I had the feeling of being confronted with absolute evil. » This evil has it “never left once more”.
In Seven (1995), Zodiac (2007), Millenium (2011) or Mindhunterwhich tells the story of two FBI agents at the end of the 1970s, David Fincher tried to understand serial killers, to understand their motivations, to examine this childhood fear that followed and shaped him… his life.
