MARLA might be the strangest love story you’ve seen. It’s intimate, intense and surprising; romantic but dark. Marla and Sam meet in the restroom of a bar. They talk and fl irt, but this isn’t just a story of boy meets girl. Marla is a woman living with a strange medical condition — something she brazenly describes to Sam during their first conversation. This is a kind of challenge — she dares Sam to be shocked, repelled or intrigued. Sam is all of these things. What happens between Sam and Marla affects them both profoundly — more than love
Directed by Nick King, Marla leans on a strong ensemble — Eddie Ritchard, Dale March, Lani John Tupu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
