75th Anniversary: Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Meticulously restored in 4K to mark its 75th anniversary, Sunset Boulevard is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.

Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), an ageing silent film queen, seizes a second shot at fame when struggling screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) agrees to write a script for her.

Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilder crafts a true cinematic classic.
