Under The Silver Lake -

At its core, the film explores the human drive to find meaning in a world saturated with information. Sam is not a traditional hero; he is often described as a "loser" or "creep" whose primary motivation is a mix of voyeurism and entitlement.

David Robert Mitchell’s 2018 film, Under the Silver Lake , is a surrealist neo-noir that functions as both a love letter to and a scathing critique of Los Angeles and its pop-culture machinery. Starring Andrew Garfield as Sam, an aimless, unemployed millennial on the brink of eviction, the movie follows his descent into a complex web of conspiracies after his neighbor Sarah ( Riley Keough ) mysteriously disappears.
