Welcome to our May selection for the Staff Picks Series! A new monthly event where we showcase favorite films handpicked by our hardworking Bear Tooth staff. Coming up we have Fight Club presented by Rita!
“Hey, I’m Rita, and I do a little bit of everything here at the Bear Tooth! Why did I choose Fight Club? Ed Norton, a shirtless Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter and Meatloaf all in one movie? Yes, please! Fight Club is a dark, funny, satirical, intense, psychologically thrilling movie, as we follow one man struggling through his unfulfilling life. Good acting, great writing, interesting dystopian cinematography, get ready for a thought provoking, rompy, wild ride of a movie. I am excited to see it again, to catch all the details I missed the first time around!”
A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground “fight clubs” forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.
