The Long Goodbye
Robert Altman / US, 1973 / 112 min.
Robert Altman’s highly original take on the film noir. Philip Marlowe gets mixed up in a world of blackmail, suicide, betrayal and murder.
Raymond Chandler purists were incensed with changes Robert Altman (The Player, Gosford Park) made to detective Philip Marlowe. He shifted the setting to modern Los Angeles and ignored most, if not all the rules of detective noir.
