Premiering earlier this year at Sundance, “Wiener-Dog” has been a film that many people have been eagerly awaiting. From Writer/Director Todd Solondz, “Weiner-Dog” is a black comedy telling four seemingly separate stories that are linked by the titular dog. To give you a look at the movie beyond the recent trailer, EW debuted a clip from the film, featuring Greta Gerwig and Kieran Culkin.
It’s clear that the director’s eccentric style seen in his previous films has carried over to this project as well. “Wiener-Dog” also can be viewed as a pseudo-sequel to perhaps Solondz’s best known film, “Welcome to the Dollhouse.” Dawn Wiener, played by Heather Matarazzo in ‘Dollhouse,’ returns in the new film, and is now seen here incarnated by Gerwig.
Along with Gerwig and Kulkin, “Wiener-Dog” also stars Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn, and Zosia Mamet. The film will be released by Amazon Studios and IFC Films this Friday, June 24th. If you can’t wait until then, check out our review here. And watch the clip below.
