Larry Clark has always been a controversial filmmaker. Dating all the way back to when his debut film, “Kids,” was released in 1995, Clark has never been one to shy away from showing graphic depictions of violence and sex in his work. This has led to many of his films receiving adult ratings and/or distribution issues. However, that hasn’t stopped the writer-director, and it looks like 23 years later, he’s still pumping out films, including the recently announced “Marfa Girl 2.”

Back in 2012, Clark released “Marfa Girl” on his website after a successful launch at the Rome Film Festival. As with many of his previous works, “Marfa Girl” included many young actors and non-actors, featuring the sex and violence that Clark has become known for. The film would eventually get a proper release in 2015, and now, three years later, Clark is back with the first trailer for “Marfa Girl 2.”
If you’ve seen the original “Marfa Girl,” you know what to expect in the sequel. Many of the same actors return and the story seems to pick up where the first film left off. And yes, there’s still plenty of that sex and violence. It appears that Breaking Glass Pictures, who gave the first film a proper distribution, will again be back to release “Marfa Girl 2.”
The cast includes Adam Mediano, Drake Burnette, Mercedes Maxwell, Jonathan Velasquez, Indigo Rael, and Jeremy St. James.
“Marfa Girl 2” doesn’t currently have a release date.
Here’s the synopsis for the film:
A family living in Marfa, Texas attempts to pull themselves back together after a horrific tragedy. This provocative sequel to Larry Clark’s film, shows us a group of people ready to escape their current realities – no matter the cost. Gritty, unrelenting and powerful, auteur Clark once again delivers a bleak landscape of sex, drugs and boredom amongst the residents of a dead-end Texas Border town.
