Review of Sunset Boulevard (1950) by Brandon W — 01 Aug 2012
What can I say about Sunset Blvd. that hasn't already been said? It's one hell of a film about film? No, it's been uttered. The performances are unrivaled? Nope, been used. Ahhhh, to hell with it! This is one of the greatest American films ever made! Billy Wilder is a directorial genius! Gloria Swanson's performance as Norma Desmond will be forever burned into the history of cinema.
William Holden and Erich von Stroheim have never been better! The screenplay is one of the all-time greats (Best quote: "I am big! It's the pictures that got small..."). It's one of my absolute favorite films and it's one of cinema's shining peaks of film.
