Experience L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997) on 35mm at the historic Los Angeles Theatre, where the city itself becomes part of the story. This neo-noir masterpiece plunges you into 1950s L.A., a world where everything is suspect, everyone is for sale, and nothing is as it seems, following Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and Kim Basinger through shadowy streets and glamorous Hollywood corners.

The evening also features a special lecture by James Ellroy, exploring the historic Los Angeles locations that inspire his work, plus an exclusive sneak peek at his forthcoming book, available before its official release.

L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997)

Discover the dark glamour of 1950s Los Angeles with L.A. CONFIDENTIAL preceded by a special lecture and sneak peek from James Ellroy.

Experience L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (1997) on 35mm at the historic Los Angeles Theatre, where ornate ceilings and golden balconies bring 1950s Hollywood to life. A world of glitz hides corruption in this neo-noir classic—everything is suspect, everyone is for sale, and nothing is as it seems.

Follow three very different police officers—Ed Exley (Guy Pearce), Bud White (Russell Crowe), and Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey)—as their paths collide while investigating a series of shocking murders. Kim Basinger shines as Lynn Bracken, whose beauty and secrets pull them deeper into Hollywood’s glamorous but dangerous underworld, where betrayal and secrets put everyone at risk.

Join us for what promises to be an unforgettable evening!
