I don't even think there's anything THAT controversial about Happiness. At least not enough to warrant the lack of distribution. I swear people read a description of it and think it's going to be Mysterious Skin. Id actually say the lack of distribution contributed to this silly notoriety. Palindromes is probably edgier yet everyone always refers back to happiness. I've seen irreversible and antichrist on streaming services for the past ten years and those films are much more graphic yet neither is even a fraction as thought provoking.
@@johnbaudhuin2987 What the fuck are you talking about? Happiness is a decent artsy-fartsy comedy film…Antichrist and Irreversible are actual films, man. What’s a concept in Happiness that Solondz tackles better than Von Trier or Noè couldn’t do better? Pedophilia memes?
Solondz is the best at capturing the essence of suburban NJ.
Haha! The interviewers list was simply saying a summary of what Solondz was just saying. Solondz is the most adorable director!
Yep. This dude definitely made Happiness.

Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, and Storytelling are great movies. Good job, Todd!
I thought this was Todd talking about his movie Storytelling :'^(
Me too! I can’t find an interview with him talking about it anywhere and it’s my favorite film of his.
@@samrotolo2006 me too you guys❤❤
He shoud have told the interviewer he'd directed Spiderman...he wouldn't have known the difference.
I really like him

On storytelling or Storytelling
He talks just like John Huston..... ;)
