RICHARD KELLY COMPARES GONE GIRL TO EYES WIDE SHUT

In this excellent, thorough and wide-ranging essay by Donnie Darko auteur Richard Kelly, he provides a wonderful, thoughtful examination of Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut, and David Fincher's latest film, Gone Girl, teasing out some rather startlingly cogent analysis by comparing and contrasting what both films seem to be trying to do, and where they both succeed, magnificently. He even gets in some conspiracy-worthy observations about the suspicious placement of plush lion dolls.
