Life During Wartime 2009
Todd Solondz’s long-awaited new film, described as a dark comedy about sexual obsessions, is a sequel to his gritty comedy Happiness. Joy is on the run from her husband, while her ex-fiancé Andy, who is actually dead, is still chasing after her. Her sister Trish is expecting a new man to come into her life; her other sister Elena feels like a victim of fame; and their mother Mona can’t let go of her bitterness towards men. A funny, poignant, sometimes chaotic and touching story about three Czech sisters portraying love and military life.
