I have been dying for the new Todd Solondz movie, Life During Wartime, which is a sequel and/or reworking of Happiness. Happiness is a flat out masterpiece; walking out of a Manhattan screening I witnessed two people almost get into a fist fight – it was 100% the movie that pushed them to that point, which is an incredible feat.
Life During Wartime has been getting good reviews at fests, and now the trailer is here. It has all the elements I expect from a Solondz film, including dry humor and gut-wrenching social horror. Also, Omar from The Wire.
