House of Cards

Director David Fincher and actor Kevin Spacey reunited for this remake of the British series about a Machiavellian politician. A ruthless and cunning congressman and his wife stop at nothing to scheme their way to the top echelons of power in Washington D.C. Fincher and his cast & crew created an epic that's brilliantly written and executed that resonates with the current climate of politics. Kevin Spacey delivers another tour-de-force performance as Francis Underwood who's every bit a modern day Shakespearean character, while Robin Wright has never been better in her greatest role as the modern day "Lady Macbeth." The stellar supporting cast includes Kate Mara, Sakina Jaffrey, Sandrine Holt and Corey Stoll. This series created for Netflix proves that great directors can create great work beyond theatrical features or conventional TV. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
