“The Singing Detective” 2003
While hospitalized with an extreme case of psoriasis, novelist Dan Dark reworks his first book in his head.
Feverish, paranoid and prone to musical outbreaks, he confuses himself with his protagonist, a detective investigating the murder of a prostitute in 1950s Los Angeles.
Robin Wright Penn gets a one way dunk! I love this drowning scene! These are hard to film so clearly! The clip gives us lots of time to enjoy her beautiful face under water, eyes open in terror! Two men hold her under until she’s dead. Then, there’s a scene of her body being pulled out of the water by the cops. Very sexy demise!
