The Singing Detective
“When it comes to murder, seduction and betrayal, he wrote the book. Now he's living it.”
ComedyMusicMysteryCrime
Tormented and bedridden by a debilitating disease, a mystery writer relives his detective stories through his imagination and hallucinations.
VIBE
A fever dream of noirish intrigue and musical numbers, this film plunges into a writer's fractured psyche. It's a disorienting, darkly funny, and often melancholic journey through memory and delusion.
