Luke Jan 1, 2019 This movie is masterpiece. It's just amazing to see how the characters come to life, showing us the dangerous of trying to be what we are not anymore. See more

Anakin S Nov 15, 2018 Sunset Boulevard is an iconic film and its easy to see why. I don't have to talk about Sunset Boulevard as the film is highly rated as it is. This is a great noir film, brilliantly lit and acted. The premise is simple: A Hollywood screenwriter chances upon an aging actress who orders him to rework a screenplay. He is relocated to her mansion- which is as much as a character as she is, and soon he realizes that not only is he trapped, but that the mysterious aging actress is a loose nut. Billy Wilder's film was a massive success upon release and its reputation has only grown since. William Holden is well cast as the tragic young scriptwriter and Gloria Swanson is magical as the elusive silent screen siren. This is dark comedy of the highest order.(A haunting noir from the old days). See more

Leia W Oct 8, 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. See more
