Riassunto

As in his earlier screenplays, Todd Solondz peers deeply into the underside of American suburban life and concerns in Storytelling, with sometimes shocking, sometimes hilarious, results. The film is in two parts: "Fiction" deals with the relationship between students and their black teacher in a college creative writing class while hammering away in decidedly non-PC fashion at the most sensitive social and political concerns of our time: race, sex, prejudice against the disabled. "Nonfiction" follows the attempts of an underachieving documentary filmmaker to capture the day-to-day life of an underachieving high-school student and his family--with surprisingly horrifying results.

The film--which stars John Goodman and Julie Hagerty as the parents in the second part of the movie--caused something of a sensation when it was first shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2001.
