Movie Details
Title: Sunset Boulevard (Original) / Boulevard du crépuscule (French title)
Release Year: 1950
Director: Billy Wilder, who also co-wrote the screenplay
Starring: William Holden, Gloria Swanson, and Erich von Stroheim
Synopsis: The film is a dark comedy and film noir that tells the story of Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter, who develops a dangerous relationship with Norma Desmond, a reclusive and faded silent film star dreaming of a magnificent comeback. The story is famously narrated by Gillis's corpse, found floating in Desmond's swimming pool at the start of the film.
Accolades: The film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, winning three, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest films ever made.
Artwork: This poster design, created by the artist Boris Grinsson, is characteristic of the vibrant, illustrative style of vintage French cinema posters. It uses a dramatic composition with a striking central figure of Gloria Swanson in a flowing yellow dress against an intense blue background filled with smaller, stylized vignettes of other characters and scenes from the film. The bold use of color and the dynamic posing effectively capture the film's melodramatic and noir themes.
