Classic Matinee Screening of Sunset Boulevard

About This Event

Enjoy a tea or coffee before or after the film and have a chat with other viewers and the wonderful Rio cinema staff. This March, Rio presents Sunset Boulevard - Billy Wilder’s darkly glamorous Hollywood noir masterpiece. Gloria Swanson delivers an unforgettable performance as Norma Desmond, a former silent-film star clinging to dreams of past fame as the industry moves on without her. Stylish, unsettling and razor-sharp, Sunset Boulevard explores ageing, ambition and the brutal treatment of women in the film industry, remaining relevant as ever and just as haunting today as it was on release.
