Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, this multi-layered detective neo-noir set in 1930s Los Angeles elevates the genre due to its brilliantly spare script by Robert Towne, Roman Polanski’s assured direction, Laslo Kovacs’ evocative cinematography, and striking performances by Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.
