EXISTENTIAL THEMES IN “SUNSET BOULEVARD”: AUTHENTICITY, ILLUSION, CHOICE AND DESPAIR IN WILDER’S FILM.


14816. EXISTENTIAL THEMES IN “SUNSET BOULEVARD”: AUTHENTICITY, ILLUSION, CHOICE AND DESPAIR IN WILDER’S FILM. This paper examines the various existential themes found in the 1950 film, “Sunset Boulevard,” examining director Billy Wilder’s use of symbol and statement to project philosophical conceptions of the various existential dualities. Makes the argument that Wilder’s film, although lacking the more typical elements of film noir tone and style – the chiaroscuro lighting, wailing jazz score, and criminal subculture – is in fact a deep study of existential despair and fatalism. KEYWORDS: film review film noir wilder existentialism sunset boulevard. Written 2003. 5 pages, 8 footnotes, 6 bibliographic sources. 1,225 words.   $35
