The Long Isolation

2021 • Directed by

Deb Lacusta

1940s Los Angeles. Femme fatales. The Polish mob. Murder. Jewish Detective and caterer Marlowe Phillips must find the missing Fishfeld, even as he battles his demons of feeling trapped and isolated – from his past in a German POW camp to an impending marriage to his secretary. Classic noir collides with the remote technology and green screen of these socially-distanced times, in this deadpan homage to “Lady in the Lake” -- all shot from the Detective’s POV.
