the sisters ("but I'm not laughing!"), the weight challenged neighbor, etc.
And Ben G is surprisingly good, too (as is his wife and girlfriend).

Such a dark comedy that it is somewhat uncomfortable to find yourself laughing. So pitch perfect in every performance. I have been waiting in vain for Todd Solondz to hit his form again. His last one, where a bunch of different actors and actresses kept switching in and out as the main character, was provocative, but not really very entertaining.

..an american dvd of it from a friend here in Toulouse.
When I played it, because it was not the right 'norm' (PAL/Secam)the image was really bad, grainy, almost black and white.
The film was so good, though, that I don't think I even noticed after the first 5 minutes!!!
VERY impressive and all that I like in US independant cinema like Amos Kolleck, Jarmush, etc...
