Sunset Boulevard
Dunkirk - Movie Trailer
1950 | NR | 110 min | Film Noir| DCP
SUNSET BLVD. is many things: a bewitching crime thriller, a one-of-a-kind star vehicle (for silent movie veteran Gloria Swanson in the greatest comeback in film history), and a dipped-in-acid Hollywood-on-Hollywood portrait. Its visual and thematic grandeur are enhanced on the big screen at the Barrymore Film Center. —Foster Hirsch
