Falling Down -- LA Film Pick

Films tell us that living in Los Angeles can lead to you going crazy. Falling Down (1993) is a good example. An even more bizarre example would by Todd Haynes' brilliant Safe (1995). These are not movies to make you happy.

I am showcasing Falling Down instead of Safe because Falling Down also exemplifies another kind of LA Movie, one wherein it serves as a kind of mapping of the city, one which seems like a mythical journey.

Michael Mann's under-rated Collateral (2004) is another example.
