City Of Tiny Lights - 2016 - 6/10

Hypnotic, neo-Noir, set primarily in the neon nights of London.
Private Eye Akhtar is hired by a hooker to find her missing colleague, last seen with a new john.
What Akhtar finds is a dead body, then a cover-up, followed by a string of individuals demanding to know what else he saw.
Rabbit hole story with numerous angles and perspectives.
Akhtar leads viewers into the dimly lit multicultural enclaves of London, and into his traumatic past.
Other viewers scored this poorly, stating they could not understand the dialogue. Get subtitles.
Cinematography shimmers throughout, recalling 1999’s Wonderland.
