After 6 years of absence, David Fincher is back and brought us 2020’s biographical film MANK. Starring Gary Oldman as Herman Mankiewicz and Amanda Seyfried as Marion Davis. The movie is about a cynical Hollywood screenwriter and his journey of alcoholism, injury, and Citizen Kane. This is the first biopic film to discuss on Films Unchained Podcast. We will talk about the life & tragedy of Mank, including his troubling race to finishing his screenplay for Orson Welles. We will discuss how the movie is a troubling letter to the Golden Era of Hollywood, rather than being a love letter.
