“Marmalade” takes place in a southern, American small town, starting deceptively slow like a cicada droning in a Spanish-moss tree (it was filmed in Minnesota), featuring some hilarious prison cellmate conversations, and then shifts into high gear with a mad love affair and a masks-and-.44 Magnum bank heist, with the FBI in hot pursuit.
