If you loved The Lost Weekend, try Double Indemnity
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
Both films are directed by Billy Wilder. If that's the register that drew you to The Lost Weekend, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Double Indemnity is
Los Angeles, summer, a typewriter clacking. A salesman pitches policies, a housewife simmers, a claims adjuster sniffs around. Wilder frames the deceit with a lens of film noir practicality.
