Here is the 'Death Of The Cat Lady' sequence from 'A Clockwork Orange' which resembles a key scene from 'Fight Club' - when Tyler visits Marla after an overdose and nudges the cabinet in the doorway (mirroring the actions of Alex). There is clear similarity and intertextuality between the films in terms of theme and style (misogyny and violence) ; an aspect of postmodernism is therefore at play. The image above also relates to another scene in the film (forcing the viewer to experience the violence) and supports the idea that the director, David Fincher, is playfully referencing elements of this influential film in his work.
