Todd Solondz – Happiness (1998)

The lives of many individuals connected by the desire for happiness, often from sources usually considered dark or evil.

Quote:
Todd Solondz’s “Happiness” is a film that perplexes its viewers, even those who admire it, because it challenges the ways we attempt to respond to it. Is it a portrait of desperate human sadness? Then why are we laughing? Is it an ironic comedy? Then why its tenderness with these lonely people? Is it about depravity? Yes, but why does it make us suspect, uneasily, that the depraved are only seeking what we all seek, but with a lack of ordinary moral vision? In a film that looks into the abyss of human despair, there is the horrifying suggestion that these characters may not be grotesque exceptions, but may in fact be part of the mainstream of humanity. Whenever a serial killer or a sex predator is arrested, we turn to the paper to find his neighbors saying that the monster “seemed just like anyone else.” “Happiness” is a movie about closed doors–apartment doors, bedroom doors and the doors of the unconscious. It moves back and forth between several stories, which often link up. It shows us people who want to be loved and who never will be–because of their emotional incompetence and arrested development. There are lots of people who do find love and fulfillment, but they are not in this movie.
