Review of Wiener-Dog (2016) by Junelkean — 29 Jun 2017
Todd Solondz has always been an expert for odd-looking and unorthodox films. And five years after his last film, he has made a comeback with Wiener-Dog. It is composed of four different stories connected by one dog and stars Ellen Burstyn, Greta Gerwig, Keaton Nigel Cooke and Danny DeVito.
The impressive style is established gorgeously which is incorporated with nice musical score and uplifting cinematography. The scenes are also filled with such realism and feels like a true-to-life situation of everyday living. This film does a good work in not being afraid to be uncanny nevertheless of a simple premise. Although some viewers might think this is an uninteresting and weird dramedy, you've got to understand the concept of it in order to figure out what message it is trying to evoke.
VERDICT: Wiener-Dog is a passionate comeback for Solondz, who masterfully crafts a peculiar yet realistic black comedy.
