Watch The Whimsical Trailer For ‘Wiener-Dog’, Featuring Greta Gerwig And A Dog Named “Cancer”
Some interesting choices!
If you’ve ever seen his 1995 cult film Welcome to the Dollhouse, then you know that director Todd Solondz likes taking twisted things and make them funny. The story follows 12-year-old Dawn Wiener as she tries to navigate classmates who hate her, boys who ignore her and the general tyranny of high school.
Now Solondz has created a semi-sequel to the dark-comedy called Wiener-Dog, starring Greta Gerwig as the grown-up Dawn. It also stars Danny DeVito, Kieran Culkin, Zosia Mamet, Julie Delpy and Ellen Burstyn. Don’t be put off by the tinkly indie music — Solondz is not one for cutesie tales.
