Todd Solondz’s WIENER-DOG Gets a Trailer

IFC and Amazon Studios have released a new trailer for Todd Solondz‘s (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness) latest, Weiner-Dog, which revolves around the lives of a group of people all touched by a cute little dachshund. The film stars Greta Gerwig as the ever-present Solondz character Dawn Wiener, along with Ellen Burstyn, Kieran Culkin, Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Tracy Letts, and Zosia Mamet.

The film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to positive reviews and is set to open in theaters June 24th. As a fan of several of Solondz’s films, I’m very excited to check this one out and you should be too.

From director Todd Solondz (WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, HAPPINESS), WIENER-DOG is a dark, starkly funny story of a single dog and the many different people she touches over her short lifetime. Man’s best friend starts out teaching a young boy some contorted life lessons before being taken in by a compassionate vet tech named Dawn Wiener. Dawn reunites with someone from her past and sets off on a road trip. After leaving Dawn, Wiener-Dog encounters a floundering film professor, as well as an embittered elderly woman and her needy granddaughter—all longing for something more. Solondz’s perversely dark comedy offers an appallingly honest look at the American experience, brought to life by its all-star cast.
