Todd Solondz's WEINER-DOG just released a trailer

From director Todd Solondz (WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, HAPPINESS), WIENER-DOG is a dark, starkly funny story of a single dog and the many different people she touches over her short lifetime.  Man’s best friend starts out teaching a young boy some contorted life lessons before being taken in by a compassionate vet tech named Dawn Wiener (Greta Gerwig). Dawn reunites with someone from her past and sets off on a road trip. After leaving Dawn, Wiener-Dog encounters a floundering film professor, as well as an embittered elderly woman and her needy granddaughter—all longing for something more.  Solondz’s perversely dark comedy offers an appallingly honest look at the American experience, brought to life by its all-star cast.

Rounding out the cast are: Danny DeVito; Zosia Mamet; Ellen Burstyn, Kieran Culkin, Tracey Letts and Julie Delpy.

WEINER-DOG plays the Nantucket Film Festival Thursday, June 23rd and Saturday, June 25th.
