Storytelling (2001)

Director Todd Solondz is always confrontational, as seen in films like Welcome to the Dollhouse(1995) and Happiness (1998). But he really looks for trouble in the two tales told in Storytelling (2001). The second, “Non-fiction,” is a disturbing look at celebrity and suburbia.

But, honestly, what’s most disturbing about this flick is the blatant censor-bruising it took following its premiering at the Cannes film festival. Some of Robert Wisdom’s best single-eyebrow raising scenes were cut out.  We at the Mr.Man office might as well go back to wearing pants to work.
