Back Against The Wall – The Movie

This  haunting black and white nightmare was shot in only eight days.

Synopsis:

 

Thriller tracks the downfall of June, a lingerie model with a knack for hooking up with the wrong men.

 

Review:

 

Director Fotopoulos comes with quite a rep in the North American indie scene. Certainly this cool and highly controlled b/w study of paranoia and powerplay in the world of lingerie modelling (don’t come, however, expecting lacy seductions) is formally inventive and resolutely modern. It’strong on interiors and text, and distinctively scored – early Cronenberg, without the genre trappings, comes to mind as an atmospheric cousin, but it’s got its own unsettling, sometimes alienating tone.
