📖 Synopsis
Joe Gillis is a bankrupt screenwriter who takes refuge in the garage of Norma Desmond's abandoned mansion, a former silent film star living in a delusion of grandeur, waiting for her return to Hollywood. Billy Wilder filmed in 1950 the most brilliant and ruthless portrait of the American entertainment industry, with Gloria Swanson playing the role of a real silent film star portraying a fictional star who refuses to accept that her time has passed.
✍️ Our review
9.1/10
★★★★★
Sunset Boulevard is the most ferocious and elegant portrait of Hollywood devouring itself. Gloria Swanson is perfectly inseparable from the character. "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille" is the saddest phrase in cinema.
