Review of Sunset Boulevard (1950) by Carl M — 07 Oct 2018
This is such a great film- a total classic. Dark comedy character study noir. Featuring a fantastic screenplay, great pacing and some great performances this film is rightly considered a classic of film noir.
William Holden plays an unsuccessful screenwriter who chances upon a mansion owned by silent screen siren Norma Desmond. She persuades him to stay and write a screenplay a comeback screenplay for her which he agrees to, lured first by the money and then just the bizzarity of the situation.
However, he soon realizes that it was a wrong decision, but he is stuck. This is a witty dark comedy(literally) featuring some evocative scenes courtesy the cinematography.
