Leisure Reading

Based on the true story of Brandon Teena, a transman in rural Nebraska and was murdered for it.

When a ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a soap salesman channel their aggression into therapeutic "fight clubs", an eccentric woman gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion. Brad Pitt stars as Tyler Durden, a sociopath filled with anarchic rage, who organizes an underground organization of "fight clubs." These clubs, in which young men with white collar jobs engage in no-holds-barred bouts, spread across the city. But Tyler has far more insidious plans - he enlists the aid of his unassertive friend, Jack (Edward Norton), to destroy conventional "society" through a deadly series of bombings. When Jack realizes the nightmarish and shocking truth, he fights to bring Tyler down.--Criterion Pictures
