Private eye Phillip Marlowe wants to get out of the detective racket and into crime writing. But when he's called to the office of editor Adrienne Fromsett, it's not to talk about his story ideas — she wants him to locate the missing wife of her boss, Mr. Kingsby. The assignment quickly becomes complicated when bodies start turning up.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A boldly experimental noir that puts you directly into Marlowe's perspective through the entire film, what you see is what he sees, told through his eyes and narration. It's a disorienting, immersive plunge into a murder mystery where the camera's refusal to show his face makes every other character's look and suspicion feel more loaded.
