Under the Silver Lake

Los Angeles may have inspired countless cinematic tales throughout history, but none just as surreal and mystical as this one.

One evening, the young and aimless Sam meets a women in his apartment building’s communal swimming pool. The next day she has vanished, and Sam becomes obsessed with figuring out how and why. Thus begins a journey through the darkest corners of the city, and into a universe of ciphers, riddles, and conspiracies.

Director Robert David Mitchell arrived as a breath of fresh air into the horror landscape with his previous film It Follows in 2014. Under the Silver Lake is even more ambitious. It is a wild and reckless dance, and a beast of a film which more than flirts with film noir conventions. This is one of those films that you simply have to see on the big screen – and you get the chance to do just that at Oslo Pix.
