Dark Horse

Todd Solondz directs Selma Blair and Jordan Gelber in this delightfully dark satire as romance blooms between a toy collector and a depressed woman.

Writer and director Todd Solondz examines the irretrievability of youth and the mercilessness of the passage of time in this dark and idiosyncratic comedy featuring an all-star cast. Tempering his trademark lacerating humour with unexpected tenderness, Solondz creates a poignant and provocative portrait of two dysfunctional thirty-somethings, their plans to marry and a besieged man-child and his fractured family.
