L.A. Confidencial

A história

Pegar num livro de James Ellroy e transpô-lo para o grande ecrã não é tarefa fácil. O universo criado por Ellroy, um dos mestres do romance negro norte-americano contemporâneo, é extremamente duro, cruel e realista, para além de mostrar o lado escondido de Hollywood, em que os "neons" e o "glamour" são substituídos pela ganância e pela corrupção. Em "L.A. Confidencial" o realizador Curtis Hanson conseguiu passar para o cinema a atmosfera claustrofóbica do livro de Ellroy, cuja acção decorre em Los Angeles, no início dos anos 50. Três polícias com características e objectivos distintos, investigam o assassínio de vários homens, encontrados sem vida num bar, na mesma noite. A pouco e pouco vão descobrindo uma teia de corrupção que envolve mafiosos, autoridades e estrelas de cinema.
