Sunset Boulevard Limited Collectors Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray

Sunset Boulevard (1950) is a seminal film noir directed by Billy Wilder that offers a haunting critique of Hollywood’s obsession with fame and the tragic consequences of delusion. The story unfolds through the eyes of Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter whose lifeless body is discovered floating in a mansion’s pool. In a flashback, Joe recounts how he became entangled with Norma Desmond, a faded silent film star yearning for a triumphant return to the screen. Norma enlists Joe to help refine her script for a comeback, drawing him into her decaying world of grandeur and denial. As Joe becomes increasingly dependent on Norma’s patronage, he grapples with the moral compromises of their relationship. The film culminates in tragedy when Norma, unable to face reality, fatally shoots Joe. In the final scene, lost in her delusions, she descends her staircase, believing she’s on a film set, and declares, “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”
