A Hollywood story.

Sunset Boulevard (1950) follows a struggling screenwriter who becomes entangled with a reclusive silent-film star dreaming of a triumphant comeback. As he grows increasingly trapped in her decaying mansion and manipulative world, their relationship spirals toward obsession and tragedy. Combining noir fatalism with biting Hollywood satire, the film paints a haunting portrait of ambition, delusion, and decay.
