L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997): The Ultimate Film Noir | Four Play

L.A. Confidential (1997), directed by Curtis Hanson, is the ultimate modern Film Noir: a dense, layered story of corruption, prostitution, drugs, celebrity, and the seedy underbelly of 1950s Los Angeles. Starring Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger, James Cromwell, and Danny DeVito, the film combines every classic Noir trope into a sprawling crime saga that feels both timeless and startlingly modern. In this episode, Richard Lewis, MonteCristo, and Thorin revisit L.A. Confidential and debate why it may be the greatest Neo-Noir ever made. They discuss the interplay between the three leads, Basinger’s Oscar-winning performance, the biting satire of Hollywood gossip culture, and the stunning location work that brings 1950s L.A. to life. They also explore the film’s parallels with real police scandals like Bloody Christmas and Rodney King, and argue whether L.A. Confidential has aged even better than the Best Picture winner that year, Titanic. 🎬 Film Noir Arc Films: The Maltese Falcon, Touch of Evil, Chinatown, L.A.
