Review of Sunset Boulevard (1950) by Jake W — 16 Nov 2012
The film's dusty, stifling atmosphere combined with its aggressively derisive pragmatism detail the slow burning inferno of Hollywood with claustrophobic ingratitude. The facade of Sunset Boulevard echoes with the cynical dismissal of dreams so inhumanly lost and the desperate grasp for the unachievable, necessarily ending in the successful pursuit of pure vapor.
An exceptional portrayal of contemptible glamour and the deteriorating American Dream.
