"..a
mixture of the film-noir style of the 1950s and some sensitive and controversial
issues
.. is
worth seeing. Its minimalist approach is different from the standard movie fare,
as is the realistic treatment of difficult social issues."

“Small town American never
felt so heavy. Just across the border from Chicago, Passionville is the kind of
town you go to when your time has run out in the big city. It's the place you go
if you want to get lost, even if just for a little while. And everyone knows not
to ask questions; everyone has a story and they aren't always pretty. “
“That's the most enjoyable
part of Don Boner's LOSERS LOUNGE, everyone has a story. We don't get to hear
them all, but bit and pieces come out as the layers of each character are
revealed. As an audience, we have to guess the rest of the story ourselves. “

Some Girls, Blake Babies and
Mysteries of Life Drummer Freda Love makes
her film debut as a featured extra in Losers Lounge.
Alternative Trailer
DVD
Losers Lounge running time 87 minutes
Losers
Lounge is murder mystery set in 1948 that follows the perplexing and often seedy
life of a private detective who is accused of murdering a troubled young lady
with a dark history. Losers
Lounge is a dark and mysterious movie that lives on the edge and tells a story
of shady characters, crooked cops, switched love and bad luck, a darker side of
human nature, a film
noir-style
murder mystery at its best.
On another
level ‘Losers Lounge’ is much like a modern day Greek Tragedy. The Protagonist
is banished from town, the antagonist attempts by false pretences to
gain control and innocent lives are upset until eventually in the end all the
characters are guided by their
fates to leave Passionville. Allegorically
Passionville is a not a place but a state of mind. Mariana, the victim of
sexual abuse, is doomed to a life of torment until her tragic death. An incestuous predator
experiences an early and violent death. The destructiveness of addictive
behavior and chemical dependency is also depicted. Disturbing questions about
sexuality appear throughout the movie culminating with the words on the
tombstone seen at the end of the movie.
