SUNSET BLVD. [1950]

Billy Wilder's 1950 film noir classic Sunset Blvd. is praised as one of the most culturally and noteworthy films in the history of cinema.
...and with good reason.
It's creepy, cynical, bizarre, darkly humorous, filled with captivating dialogue, hypnotizing performances, eerie photography and a haunting score courtesy of the late great Franz Waxman.
What more can I say? It's essential cinematic viewing that should not be ignored.
