Redlands (BLU-RAY)

The lives of three residents of Redlands, California, intersect and ultimately collide in this claustrophobic exploration of radical creativity, sexuality and violence in America. Vienna (Nicole Fox’s, America’s Next Top Model) is a young “alternative” nude model who lives with her musician boyfriend Zack (Sam Brittan) in Redlands, California – a bleak Inland Empire city sixty miles east of Los Angeles. Controlling and hypocritical, Zack uses Vienna’s earnings to further his own musical career as Vienna attempts to build a creative life of her own. Their lives are forever changed when Vienna meets Allan (Clifford Morts), a balding middle-aged amateur glamour photographer; unemployed and recently divorced, Allan’s unassuming behavior camouflages his feelings of inadequacy and his building resentment toward others. John Brian King’s unflinchingly nihilistic neo-noir is…"Artfully evocative – of alienation, the constraints on ambition and the danger of unexpressed anger – and profoundly disturbing.” (Michael O’Sullivan, The Washington Post)
