SUNSET BLVD. Director: Billy Wilder (1951) (110 min) Book cinema tickets No other motion picture about Hollywood comes near Billy Wilder’s searing, uncompromising and utterly fascinating portrait of the film community. Beneath it all is vanity, madness, murder, and a twisted obsession with filmdom’s past. Wilder’s work is a sardonic portrait of an ageing silent film star and a cynical young man who is engulfed by the demented siren’s delusions. Director: Billy Wilder (1951) (110 min)
