With Dusk Boulevard , the other deconstruction of the Hollywood myth carried out by Billy Wilder
New 2K restoration
Fedora, a great Hollywood star now retired in Europe, ends his life by throwing himself under a train. Two weeks earlier, producer Barry Detweiler had gone looking for her in the hope of bringing her back to the front of the stage. But the mysterious Fedora now lives as a recluse with strange people and proves difficult to approach...
Fedora is a formidable indictment of the Hollywood star system and its myth of eternal youth. Between nostalgia and irreverence, Billy Wilder here takes an almost disillusioned look at the generation of American directors and producers of New Hollywood. Unknown to the general public, long invisible in the cinema, Fedora is a rare gem to be discovered today in a new restored version!
