Screening Log, January 2007

The Black Dahlia
USA / 2006

Why does everyone insist on sweetening James Ellroy- his books are mired in the gutter, seeping with bile and human misery, whereas the film adaptations (notably L.A. Confidential and this) are star studded spectaculars, set against the glittering backdrop of tinseltown and crammed with glamour and impressive period hair. But at least with the former they managed to retain the sharp dialogue and characters- this is just plain dull.
