Video:

The movie was shot in 1.33:1, as it is presented here. Director of Photography Claudine Sauve must have done a great deal of work to get good, usable footage in the dark nightclub scenes, but that work is lost in several places on this disc - there is a sizeable amount of film grain present in darker scenes. Otherwise, the picture is clean, though not outstanding.

Sound:

The film's sound might be the best part of the transfer. It's a Dolby stereo track that comes across powerfully in the nightclub scenes, even if it is rarely used anywhere else. The dialogue is clean and crisp. Extras:

This disc is bare. No featurettes, no filmographies and no trailers. There aren't even menus or chapter breaks. This is even though the box claims that the DVD has a trailer and Spanish subtitles. It is amazing to see this happen on a release from an independent studio. There would seem to be no better publicity for other projects (Tallo has one other feature film, Juiced, to her name) than trailers, conversations, even just a written "Coming Attractions" page on a disc that reaches an audience already interested.

Final Thoughts:

The characters and settings of Posers are good enough to stand on their own merits. Unfortunately, on top of what would have been an interesting, admittedly quieter film, Tallo has shoe-horned a murder mystery and compensated by trying to "surprise" the viewer at every turn. The plot only succeeds in confusing a perfectly good story in the making.
