Mulholland Falls (1996): Jennifer Connelly, Nick Nolte and John Malkovich


     Directed by Lee Tamahori, and written by Pete Dexter, Mulholland Falls (1996) is a solid Neo-Noir film that was never given the attention it deserves. The story concerns a tough-as-nails cop squad in 1950's Los Angeles, investigating the murder of a young woman… and the connection to a powerful Army General in the Nuclear Program. The set design and cinematography add to the gritty period feel. Nick Nolte is great in the lead role. Jennifer Connelly is sexy in her brief role, appearing mostly in home sex film footage, showing off her beautiful naked body and large bare breasts in a series of erotic nude sex scenes. The supporting ensemble cast does a fine job as well, including John Malkovich, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn, Chaz Palminteri, Melanie Griffith, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCartyTreat Williams and Bruce Dern. Aaron Neville appears as a singer.
