The Nice Guys (2016) — This cult classic buddy comedy follows a private eye and a hired enforcer in 1970s Los Angeles. To capture the era’s hazy, sun-drenched look, director Shane Black avoided modern digital filters. Instead, the production used vintage anamorphic lenses and actual physical film grain to ensure the “dirty” aesthetic felt authentic. This commitment to 70s realism extended to the costumes, which were sourced from genuine vintage warehouses to match the period’s specific textures.
Ryan Gosling’s comedic performance was heavily inspired by the physical comedy of Lou Costello. During the bathroom stall scene, Gosling’s struggle with the door and his gun was almost entirely improvised. Russell Crowe was so caught off guard by the physical gags that he struggled to stay in character, with several takes being ruined by his genuine laughter. This natural chemistry transformed the movie from a standard noir into a beloved comedy duo masterpiece.
