SILVER

Twenty-plus years after Todd Solondz's career-defining coming-of-age tale WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, the director picks up the story of the haplessly lovable Dawn Wiener (now played by Greta Gerwig) in one of a series of tragically funny tableaux about a wayward dachshund who passes from oddball owner to oddball owner, quietly impacting their dysfunctional lives along the way. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn and Zosia Mamet, WIENER-DOG is a wondrously warped look at the absurdity of life (and death) from one of contemporary cinema's most fearless and unique voices. DIR/SCR Todd Solondz; PROD Christine Vachon, Megan Ellison. U.S., 2016, color, 88 min. NOT RATED
