The Black Marble
Watch TrailerWhen alcoholic homicide investigator Valnikov is transferred to a burglary case that seems to involve a creepy dogcatcher, he's also given a new partner -- the pragmatic Sgt. Natalie Zimmerman, who's experiencing a midlife crisis and does not welcome Valnikov's company. But as these emotionally bruised cops are drawn deeper into the bizarre world of dog shows, animal fanatics and pet cemeteries, they're also drawn to each other.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film doesn't try to be funnier than it is — and that's its honesty. The humor grows from situations and characters, not from pre-written jokes.
The film does exactly what it was made for: gives you a break. No pretensions to more, but honest and without dead spots.
A solid choice for company. Works alone too, but funnier together.
Director: Harold Becker
