The Long Goodbye 1973 Extras 1080p Bluray 2021 Page

One of the standout features of "The Long Goodbye" is its use of Los Angeles as a character in its own right. The film's cinematography, handled by John A. Alonzo, captures the city's sprawling landscapes, bleak architecture, and eerie landscapes, creating a sense of disorientation and unease that mirrors Marlowe's own confusion and frustration. The film's LA setting was also a deliberate choice by Altman, who sought to use the city's sense of disconnection and moral decay to underscore the themes of the novel.
