I’m Not Your Nice Girl—Gone Girl (US 2014)

‘Gone Girl’ shows a marital crisis and its resolution in the form of a thriller with many allusions to noir films and an ironic undertone. Social ideas of femininity are played out, role models such as ‘Nice Girl, Cool Girl’ but also tropes such as ‘the female corpse, the mother who gives endlessly, the female monster’ are staged. The film deals with role models conveyed by social media and, thanks to the short cut sequences, stays within the range of our smartphone attention span, so that the viewer is also informed about the media excitement and the marketing strategies of these role models.
