This week we are talking about the 2014 American psychological thriller Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher.
It stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and marks Carrie Coon’s film debut.
The story follows Nick Dunne (Affleck), who becomes the prime suspect after his wife Amy (Pike) mysteriously disappears from their home in Missouri.
RATING: The Aussie: 2.8/5 The Scotsman: 3/5
The Scotsman kicks things off with a woodworking story (because, of course he does).
We get into the real-life case of Scott Peterson – the American convicted in 2002 of murdering his wife and unborn child – and how it parallels the film’s central mystery.
“This is a frustrating film. It’s an annoying film. I don’t like ambiguity,” says the Aussie, clearly still working through some feelings.
The Scotsman struggles to recall whether he’s seen it before, mumbles through the first 20 minutes… until the Aussie mentions the sex scenes. Suddenly, the Scotsman is fully awake and firing.
That leads to the inevitable question: “Have you had sex in public?” And off we go.
Rohan Reminisces takes us back to 2014 with a look at the Scottish Referendum, and we round things off with a bit of film trivia.
