Confidential would seem to have a lot working against it, as it’s another naval-gazing movie about the “real” Hollywood, and has an undeniably masculinist bent despite its critical take on noir heroism. Also, its bright color photography and avoidance of visual abstractions distance it from the rich tradition of noir aesthetics.
