L.A. Confidential
USA 1997 | Curtis Hanson | vostFR+DE | 138’ | 35mm | Cast : Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce | D’après le roman de James Ellroy
► Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Kim Basinger), Best Adapted Screenplay, Oscars 1998
L.A., les années cinquante. Les péripéties d’une alliance moralement ambiguë entre trois policiers, aux personnalités radicalement opposées, à l’occasion d’une enquête sur une tuerie. S’y ajoute une élégante call-girl…
« Une excellente adaptation de l’univers romanesque brutal et vénéneux de James Ellroy, pour un film noir d’une formidable densité et une magistrale description de milieu. » (Cinematek Bruxelles)
« Hanson’s adaptation of Ellroy’s most complex novel is a towering achievement, probably the finest mystery thriller since Chinatown. Set in the ‘50s, this punchy cocktail of gangland violence, police brutality, racism and sex-scandal cover-ups feels torn from today’s headlines. It operates on the principles of an exposé, highlighting the parallax between image and reality. » (TimeOut Film Guide)
« One of the things the film conveys, in addition to institutionalized corruption, is the energy and excitement of a city that knows it's on the move. L.A. Confidential is juicy dynamite. » (Boston Globe)
