If you loved Knives Out, try L.A. Confidential
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Knives Out, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What L.A. Confidential is
1953. The last neon flickers over L.A. like a dying pulse. A corpse-splattered diner, a telephoto lens, a starlet’s scream looping on a radio. Hanson channels Chandler by way of Altman—three badges, three mirrors, and one dark city.
