LA Confidential. James Ellroy's LA set, labyrinthine post war masterpiece that was pared down beautifully for screen by Curtis Hanson and screenwriter Brian Helgeland. If you've read the book you'd be amazed by how it was adapted. Huge swathes of story removed but never in a way that hinders the plot or that lessens the characters. Amazing work in an amazing film.
