Iconic, darkly comedic, and thrilling, the three-time Oscar-winner returns to the big screen in glorious 4K for its 75th anniversary!
Sunset Boulevard is directed by Billy Wilder and is acclaimed as one of the best movies ever made, with continued cultural relevance. Few films have captured the mystique of Hollywood’s dark and daring underbelly quite like this and seven decades after its release, this masterpiece still asserts itself as the definitive exploration of the appeal and peril of stardom. In an era dominated by social media and ever-changing trends, the film’s meditation on fame, ambition, and the passage of time feels as poignant as ever.
Fame isn’t forever… Gloria Swanson is Norma Desmond, a silent film star struggling to reclaim her past fame as Hollywood moves on. Once a Hollywood legend, now a forgotten relic, she refuses to fade away. When struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) stumbles into her decaying mansion, he becomes trapped in her web of obsession, control, and delusion. What starts as an opportunity soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Dark, twisted, and eerily relevant, Sunset Boulevard is a haunting look at Hollywood’s unrelenting cycle—where youth is currency, talent is fleeting, and no one stays in the spotlight forever. Are you ready for your close-up?
