Two Small Bodies

After the disappearance of her two children, nightclub hostess Eileen Maloney (Suzy Amis, 'The Ballad of Little Jo') is confronted in her home by an aggressive police lieutenant (Fred Ward, 'Henry and June') who subjects her to a series of ruthless interrogations. Detective Brann initially underestimates Eileen, but as their combative relationship deepens, the balance of power begins to shift, and the investigation becomes knotted with erotic tension. Directed by Beth B ('Salvation!') and based on the play by Neal Bell (who co-wrote the screenplay), 'Two Small Bodies' manages to be both a taut psychological thriller and a provocative dissection of the politics of sex and power.
