TODD SOLONDZ'S INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN INDEPENDENT FILM (and a few other exceptions)

WWW.PINNLANDEMPIRE.COM

Seriously, am I the only one who noticed the change in tone, subject matter and style within (mostly) American independent films ever since todd solondz (one of my all time favorite directors) blessed us with; ‘welcome to the dollhouse’ and ‘happiness’? since 1999/2000, it seems like there are more and more todd solondz clones at every sundance film festival. We’ve all heard that generic Todd Solondz criticism before (and quite frankly, its getting kinda old); “why does he make such disturbing movies?” Well if that’s how people feel, then why have so many movies...
