Summary:
Independent filmmaker Todd Solondz explores contemporary American existence and the nature of forgiveness with his customary dry humor and queasy precision. The film functions as a distorted mirror image of Solondz's acclaimed 1998 dark comedy Happiness, its emotionally stunted characters now groping for the possibility of change in a post-9/11 world. Shot in expressionistic tones, Solondz's film finds the humor in the tragic and the tragic in the everyday. "Deep-dish pleasure...Todd Solondz may have made his best film with Life During Wartime."--Variety. "A pitch perfect cast...one of the year's best films."--Time Magazine.
