Sunset Boulevard (1950) is Billy Wilder’s noir masterpiece about ambition, obsession, and the dark underbelly of Hollywood.
It follows Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter, who becomes entangled with Norma Desmond, a faded silent film star clinging to her past glory.
As their relationship spirals into manipulation and delusion, the film becomes a haunting portrait of fame’s corrosive power and the cost of chasing the spotlight.
