Genre: Drama Director(s): Larry Clark Release Date: 25 March 2014 Movie rating: 5.2

“Marfa Girl” is a deep drama, directed by notorious and renowned photographer, filmmaker and artist Larry Clark. The movie is set in Marfa, Texas. It seems like the small city of Marfa exists in a particular cultural nexus, which is characterized by a constant clash between three different communities - the art community, the Mexican American community and the white community. It is worth noting that the art community appeared in Marfa after being inspired to come there by the American sculptor Donald Judd. Besides the obvious clash of interest in Marfa, there’s also a smothering border Patrol despite the fact that the Mexican border is approximately 68 miles away. Surprisingly, but there’s even a 11 pm curfew for teenagers, and their teachers practice corporal punishment at school. The people at Marfa paddle their kids starting from kindergartens and all through high school. Adam has to live in this destructive surrounding; he’s a half-white half-Hispanic teenager that’s simply trying to figure things out. His mother truly loves him, but she’s mostly consumed by her collection of birds. Adam’s neighbor intends to seduce him, though she has a one year old child and she’s married to a jailed drug dealer. That’s how Adam get full sex education.
