Watch the first official trailer of Sitting on the Edge of Marlene, the upcoming drama movie directed by Ana Valine. It is a darkly comedic feature film drama that centers on a mother-daughter con artist duo.
The film stars Suzanne Clément, Paloma Kwiatkowski, Callum Keith Rennie, Dakota Daulby, Daniel Arnold and Conchita Campbell.
Plot:
"While waiting for her father to get out of prison, clean-living (but experienced) 14-year-old Sammie (Paloma Kwiatkowski) helps make ends meet by joining her pill-popping mother, Marlene (Suzanne Clément), in the family con business. Callum Keith Rennie is featured as Fast Freddy, Marlene’s cohort in pulling off lucrative grifts. As the story progresses over two years, Sammie takes much more control of her life and her relationship with her mother, whose emotional maturity is stymied by her substance abuse. Sammie has little choice but to grow into the role of responsible adult but her morbid obsession with death, particularly her own, casts a dark shadow over her self-discovery."
This adaptation of the Billie Livingston novella (The Trouble with Marlene) takes us on a bittersweet, emotional journey that navigates either side of the law and morality, leading us through dysfunction, love and addiction towards a kind of deliverance for this compelling mother and daughter.
The soundscape is dark and edgy, enhancing the dizzying downward spiral of the story. Director Ana Valine also wrote the screenplay for this remarkably mature first feature.
