The sleepy town of Albuquerque, encircled by high mountains and dusty deserts, in a suffocating summer: the perfect backdrop for this raw, realistic American indie western.
Two young men go off the straight and narrow when they steal a car. Flo, who has just lost his job, feels more and more guilty about it. Certainly because he has an eye on car’s owner, the sexy and provocative Marisa. And he, unlike the husky Trey, is pretty clumsy with women. Should he stay loyal to his friend or choose love?
Malcolm Murray grew up in Albuquerque and could have been one of the characters in the sultry Bad Posture. He portrays Flo, Marisa and Trey, played by non-professional actors, with great empathy in an observational style that clearly reveals he started his career as a documentary maker. With a relaxed and nonchalant soundtrack, Murray has made a visually powerful and very self-confident feature debut.
