L.A. Confidential - 1997 - Curtis Hanson 3 1950’s Police Officers use their own methods and tactics to reveal the truth about a tragic shotgun murder of the patrons at an all-night diner risking corruption and murder. The three cops use every trick in their books in order to get ahead and won’t stop until they do so.
This two-time oscar winning film is extremely comparable to the typical characteristics of a film noir. The locations, plot and mise-en-scene are almost identical to that of a noir in it’s prime years and definitely retains the era though definitely adding modern day editing and cinematography.
Stylistically, it's a very typical noir. Hard boiled characters, femme fatales, cigarettes, strange lighting, ex-cops and detectives. I think it's a really 'true-to-genre' film.
