From the astonishing creative energy that brought you It Follows comes a woozy neonoir fever long for one man's scan for reality behind the strange violations, homicides and vanishings in his East L.A. neighborhood.
Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenthralled 33-year-old who finds a secretive lady, Sarah (Riley Keough), skipping in his flat's swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam sets out on a dreamlike mission crosswise over Los Angeles to unravel the mystery behind her vanishing, driving him into the murkiest profundities of puzzle, outrage and trick in the City of Angels.
From essayist executive David Robert Mitchell comes a sprawling, lively and unforeseen riddle parody criminologist spine chiller about the Dream Factory and its inhabitants — pooch executioners, trying on-screen characters, sparkle pop gatherings, nightlife identities, It young ladies, memorabilia hoarders, veiled temptresses, destitute masters, withdrawn lyricists, sex laborers, affluent socialites, topless neighbors, and the shadowy very rich people coasting above (and underneath) it all. Mining a noir custom stretching out from Kiss Me Deadly and The Long Goodbye to Chinatown and Mulholland Dr., Mitchell utilizes the geology of Los Angeles as a setting for a more profound investigation into the shrouded importance and mystery codes covered inside the things we adore.
