L.A. Noir: The Long Goodbye
USA | 1973 | 112 min. | Robert Altman
September 24, 2025
Master noir novelist Raymond Chandler’s 1953 "The Long Goodbye" was taut and hard-boiled. Altman’s film version is charmingly meandering and woozy. Elliott Gould’s bedraggled, bumbling Philip Marlowe is the anti-Bogart version of the character. Buffeted by a whirlwind of chaotic corruption, Gould responds with his go-with-the-flow mantra, “It's okay with me.” But his shambling form hides a classic Marlowe integrity that will spark into action. Cinematic master Altman layers his widescreen frames with glass surfaces that reflect, obscure, and reveal shifting realities.

Facts are veiled in uncertainty, but Heard, despite the warnings of Bridges and Heard’s wife Lisa Eichorn, won’t be deterred. As suspense spirals, should Bridges go with his gut or do a leap of faith? Presented on 35mm.

Stylish director Mann (TV’s Miami Vice) pauses his onrushing crime saga so De Niro and Pacino can appear together and have coffee. The outlaw and the lawman are born to do what they do, and they’re not stopping, but they share words about the fullness and emptiness of their lives, what they win and lose.

Passions and secrets drive a 1950s LAPD neophyte (Guy Pearce), a tough cop (Russell Crowe), and a showboat (Kevin Spacey) allied with gangsters, Hollywood, and sleazy tabloids. The top cop (James Cameron) pulls strings, and fragments of meaning coalesce into story. The men’s jobs are their lives, but love can’t be denied.

There are good guys (Bryan Cranston) and bad (Albert Brooks), but Gosling will drive Mulligan in the golden afternoon and through the night, have no fear.
