This World, Then the Fireworks
Synopsis: Fraternal twin grifters Marty and Carol reunite in their mother's California home after suffering personal and professional failures. Set in the late '50s, the amoral and incestuous siblings set their sights on a new mark. Cinematography by Tom Priestley Jr. (The Thomas Crown Affair).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
China Moon
Synopsis: In a small Florida town, a tantalizing tale of mystery, passion and fatal obsession unfolds under the sultry spell of a full moon. Oscar nominee Ed Harris (Apollo 13) and Madeleine Stowe (The Last of the Mohicans) turn up the heat in this sexy, stylish thriller. Together with co-stars Benicio Del Toro and Charles dance, Harris and Stowe deliver searing performances in this deliciously dark web of love, lust and lies that "keeps you guessing" (Los Angeles Times) until the final mesmerizing frame.
Homicide detective Kyle Bodine (Harris) is the best in the business. But even a cop as brilliant as Kyle can become confused in the embrace of a seductive woman. What starts as a casual flirtation with local beauty Rachel Monro (Stowe) escalates into a desire that cannot be denied. And when Rachel's need to escape her unhappy marriage to an abusive banker ends in murder, Kyle becomes trapped in a bewildering nightmare of deceit and deadly betrayal.
