Synopsis

You get tough. You get tender. You get close to each other. Maybe you even get close to the truth.

Private eye Jake Gittes lives off of the murky moral climate of sunbaked, pre-World War II Southern California. Hired by a beautiful socialite to investigate her husband's extra-marital affair, Gittes is swept into a maelstrom of double dealings and deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and political scandals that come crashing together.

Loved Faye dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. Def less cunty in this movie but she steals the show fasho(w). Lowkey couldn’t get into it bc it doesn’t really show *why* this is important. I just couldn’t care about whatever was happening. I pay more for electricity/water bc of AI data centers in Chicago but it doesn’t change my life (yes privileged take)
