On Swift Horses

It’s the 1950s and Muriel (Edgar-Jones, Normal People) is just about ready to to swap Kansas for a new start in California with her beau, Lee (Poulter, Midsommar). But then Lee’s mysterious, charismatic brother, Julius (Elordi), appears on their doorstep. Never one to linger, Julius splits for Las Vegas as soon as he gets some cash together, but he leaves an indelible impression on Muriel. For her, it’s not so much an infatuation as an invitation to dream beyond the bounds of her mundane life. Julius, meanwhile, down on his luck, sparks a kinship with Henry (Calva, Babylon) while working at a casino. For both Julius and Muriel, pursuing their desires means cultivating a secret life, and possibly their own undoing. Based on Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel.
