Storytelling $3.99 As in his earlier screenplays, Todd Solondz peers deeply into the underside of American suburban life and concerns in Storytelling, with sometimes shocking, 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. The 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 first shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2001.
