Todd Solondz über «Storytelling» (Cannes, 2001)

from Filmpodium Zurich TALKS · host Filmpodium Zürich

Im Januar/Februar 2020 zeigten die Kolleginnen und Kollegen vom Cameo Winterthur vier Filme von Todd Solondz, «Enfant terrible des US-amerikanischen Kinos». Einer, der dabei fehlte, war Storytelling (2001), sein besonders beklemmendes Diptychon über Sex, Rassismus, Promi-Kult und Ausbeutung und die Geschichten, die wir (über) uns erzählen. Beim Gruppengespräch darüber in Cannes erwies sich Solondz als sehr witziger und selbstironischer Filmautor, dessen Vorstellungen von einer Komödie allerdings nicht unbedingt massentauglich sind. In January/February 2020, our colleagues at Cameo Winterthur screened four films by Todd Solondz, "the enfant terrible of US cinema". One title that was missing was Storytelling (2001), his particularly upsetting diptych about sex, racism, the cult of celebrity, exploitation and the stories we tell (about) ourselves. At the round table in Cannes, Solondz proved to be a very funny and self-ironic filmmaker, whose idea of what constitutes a comedy is not exactly mainstream.
