Director: Todd Solondz
Language: English
Todd Solondz is known for bringing a host of uncomfortable characters and situations to the screen — first prize is probably Philip Seymour Hoffman's obscene phone caller in "Happiness" — and "Dark Horse" is no exception, a twisted rom-com for no-hopers. Obese, 30-something, still-living-at-home Abe (Jordan Gelber) convinces himself that heavily medicated Miranda (Selma Blair) is attracted to him, with disastrous results. Mia Farrow and Christopher Walken play Abe's complex-inducing parents.
