Life During Wartime

penwith film society
directed by: 
Todd Solondz
with: 
Allison Janney, Michael Kenneth Williams, Roslyn Ruff, Ciarán Hinds, Shirley Henderson, Michael Lerner, Dylan Riley Snyder

A sequel to or a variation of Solondz's masterpiece Happiness, here we are confronted again with the deepest sadness and darkest awkwardness of ordinary broken lives. Three tales interweave around love, lust, betrayal, death and memory. Looking though the lens of humanity, in all it's dark and subtle comedy, the film emerges as a complex, maybe unfinished, poem about forgiveness: it's impossibility and necessity.

Winner, Best Actress, Alison Janney - Mar del Plata Film Fest 2010
Winner, Best Screenplay, Todd Solondz - Venice Film Festival 2010
But as far as the cinema of squirm goes, Life During Wartime proves that Solondz, even when he’s producing milder fare than when he first came to attention, is still in a league of his own. - Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph
