Sunset Blvd. 70th Anniversary Video Essay

This video looks back at Billy Wilder’s classic dark Hollywood tale Sunset Blvd. Arguably one of the greatest Hollywood directors of all time, Wilder defied categorisation as he moved from genre to genre delivering timeless classics that have come to define American cinema. Sunset Blvd. followed in the tradition of his earlier film noir offerings such as The Lost Weekend and Double Indemnity to portray a satirical and haunting look at Hollywood and the obsessive nature of filmmaking. The film has a standout performance from screen legend Gloria Swanson, who alongside Billy Wilder must never be forgotten by modern audiences. Check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments.
