Dark Horse, Todd Solondz, Andrij Parekh

[Jon Rosenbloom]

I highly recommend a viewing of the beautifully depressing new Todd Solondz film "Dark Horse." While Solondz has sometimes pushed his DP's to the limits of blandness, I found the cinematography in his latest downer to be rather stylish, perfectly controlled and ultimately beautiful in its own tamped down way. The camera moves are especially elegant; they really go somewhere. Every word of the script is purposeful; the same can be said of the cinematography. It's got a very small release, but check it out, especially if you're feeling lousy about yourself :)
