7 - Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Sunset Boulevard is a movie that cannot easily be labeled, which is part of what makes it so good. As reality and fiction blur, the audience starts feeling the slight suffocation so present throughout the movie... and find that they are unable to break away from it. Enjoy!

Om Podcasten

A podcast where I talk about movies from the 30s to the 60s. I will be looking at the plot, themes, characters, funny anecdotes, and anything worth mentioning. The structure of the podcast will alternate between very famous movies from the time (eg Hitchcock) and lesser known movies that are definitely worth talking about. I will also be dedicating some episodes to specific actors and directors and looking at their contribution to cinema.
