LA Confidential Movie Poster

 

Movie club and book club ended up being back-to-back this month. It's been tough to find time to jot some notes down in this season of so many social obligations and so many beverages.

I Hadn't seen this one in many years (maybe since it came out!). Even if I do remember it fondly... I'm not sure 16 year old Nick could appreciate the craftsmanship. 

Seeing it now, after years of nurturing a love for cinema and literature, I am truly impressed at how well crafted this beautiful movie is. Each shot is gorgeous, revealing glimpses of the plot in a methodically blunt succession. Wonderful Christmas-time movie club choice on Mikes part.
