Sunset Boulevard (Popular University of Cinema)
A former silent film star lives forgotten in a lavish, outdated mansion on Sunset Boulevard. When a young screenwriter arrives, she asks him to write a script that will allow her to become a star once again.
“With unequalled power of fascination, Wilder’s masterpiece slowly distills a murky, decaying atmosphere, constantly blending illusion and reality, madness and normality, hate and love, pathos and ridicule, romance and sordidness, moving tribute and biting critique. A pure tragedy that shines with the dark brilliance of a black diamond.” (Guide des films, Larousse Editions)
