It was only through the process of writing it that I began to discover what this movie really was about. That film gave me the confidence to pursue this with the structure of a dog going from owner to owner to owner. I didn’t know what that could mean, ultimately, but I was affected by the film Robert Bresson made 50 years ago called Au hazard Balthazar about a mule. Well, it started conceptually with the idea of making a dog movie. Why did you decide a dog would be the best way to tell this story?

Wiener-Dog deals with a number of complex issues like life and death and companionship and loneliness. Wiener-Dog opens exclusively at the Santikos Bijou Theater July 15. In his newest film, Wiener-Dog, Solondz, 56, tells a story centered on loneliness and mortality with the help of a pet dachshund and the series of owners she is adopted by during her life.ĭuring an interview with the Current earlier this week, Solondz, who is also an adjunct film professor at New York University, talked to us about the inspiration behind his film, what he thinks dogs provide their owners on an emotional level, and why he feels comedy and tragedy work so well together. If you’re not familiar with the polarizing and darkly bizarre filmmaking prowess of director/writer Todd Solondz – or if you’re the type of person easily offended by satirical takes on serious and oftentimes deviant elements of human nature – it might be best to ease into the inner workings of the indie filmmaker’s head until you acquire the taste. Filmmaker Todd Solondz's new film is Weiner-Dog starring Greta Gerwig and Danny DeVito.
