Storytelling (Paperback, Main)

In Storytelling, as in his earlier screenplays, Solondz peers into the underside of American suburban life with sometimes shocking and 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. As captivating as it is controversial, this 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 shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001.
