The dazzling debut feature from director Rian Johnson stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a high school student delving into the dark side of his California suburb on a search for his missing ex-girlfriend. With stylized dialogue, intricate plotting, deadpan humor, double-crosses, lunch-money shakedowns, femmes fatales, and an unforgettable teenage kingpin in the form of Lukas Haas (complete with cape and cane), this neo-noir thriller won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance. A triumph of attitude” (Troy Patterson) that’s quotable, clever, and cryptic” (Victoria Segal). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
