SUNSET BOULEVARD • 75th Anniversary 4K Restoration | Cinessentials

Billy Wilder, 110m, 1950
Starring: Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Erich von Stroheim, Fred Clark, Nancy Olson

75th ANNIVERSARY • 4K RESTORATION

An aging silent film queen refuses to accept that her stardom has ended. She hires a young screenwriter to help set up her movie comeback. The screenwriter believes he can manipulate her, but he soon finds out he is wrong. The screenwriters ambivalence about their relationship and her unwillingness to let go leads to a situation of violence, madness, and death.

“Billy Wilder’s cynical edge is finely honed in this darkly amusing satire, which won three Academy Awards. It’s a film that is perennially ready for its close-up.” Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
