Boris

Directed by Conor Scheinberg
Tones: dark, melancholic, tense
Boris drives, plays bar gigs, and gets pulled into a film project by an acquaintance who promptly vanishes. The trail leads him toward the L.A. River and a final musical performance that feels like a soft threat.

Slow-burn L.A. noir where the answer never comes — exactly the kind of refusal mainstream mystery is allergic to. Bring on the unresolved ambiguity.
A musician-noir that ends in performance instead of answer — Scheinberg leans into late-Lynch drift and the L.A. River does its inevitable work. I'll take refusal-of-resolution every time when it's earned.
