Zodiac / USA / 2007

Over a week has gone by since I saw this; I had hoped in vain that a bit of time for reflection would help me organize my thoughts on it, but it instead looks like a second viewing is in order before I have any coherent statements to offer up. Perhaps it’s Fincher’s aggressive merging of disparate (to me, at least) generic conventions that has me puzzled; the film is part police procedural, part serial killer film, part family drama, and part mystery, and I couldn’t help but feel that the parts didn’t quite add up, and that forty minutes could have easily been shaved from the running time.
