It’s over a decade since Todd Solondz won the Critics’ prize at Cannes for his wry, provocative Happiness, and his latest is a humorous, melancholic sequel of sorts.
Returning to the terrain of sexual desire in American suburbia, Life During Wartime features Trish, who is separated from her incarcerated paedophile husband Bill, and about to get married again. Meanwhile, Trish’s angelic sister Joy is on leave from her degenerate husband and job at a correctional facility, but unwittingly manages to leave behind a trail of shame and exposed secrets wherever she goes.
For the uninitiated, Life During Wartime is funny and dark in its realism. For long-time fans of the cult filmmaker, it speaks to the sense of play and the strength of one of the most original voices in American filmmaking.
