Synopsis Mank, David Fincher's Latest Movie Released Today

JAKARTA - Today, Friday, December 4, the film Mank, directed by David Fincher, is officially released via Netflix.

Mank tells the journey of the scriptwriter for the film Citizen Kane, which was released in 1941, Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman). He asked the people around him to start calling him Mank.

The film Mank is set in Hollywood in 1930 through the point of view of a Mank who becomes an alcoholic but has to finish the script for Citizen Kane.

The trailer released last month featured Mank's struggle to write the script despite being bedridden.

Mank became David Fincher's new work after making Gone Girl in 2017. Mank's script was written by David Fincher's late father, Jack before he died in 2003. Then, David continued the script to be realized.

The scoring was created by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Atticus Rose. Reznor released a website that contains 210 snippets of photos from the film Mank that was screened with his scoring.

Apart from Gary Oldman, Mank starred Tom Burke, Arliss Howard, Amanda Seyfried, Charles Dance, Lily Collins, and Tom Pelphrey.

Reportedly, Mank became David Fincher's strategy to enter the ranks of the Oscar nominations in 2021 considering that so far David Fincher has just won a nomination and has never won an Oscar award.

After a limited release in theaters on November 13, Mank's film can now be watched starting today, December 4, on Netflix. Watch David Fincher's Mank trailer below.
