This potent comedy-drama tells two separate tales. The first follows the relationship problems of a lovelorn student (Selma Blair). In the second, Paul Giamatti plays a filmmaker shooting a documentary about an atypical American family headed by a dictatorial dad (John Goodman). Julie Hagerty. Todd Solondz (“Welcome to the Dollhouse”) wrote and directed., The first half of this darkly comic drama focuses on creative writing student Vi and her search to find herself through sexuality and prose. The second follows a suburban family with three sons: an aimless slacker, a macho sportsman and a boastful prodigy., Storytelling is comprised of two separate stories set against the sadly comical terrain of college and high school, past and present. Following the paths of its young hopeful and troubled characters, it explores issues of sex, race, celebrity and exploitation, From the controversial director of Happiness comes another dark look at New Jersey, this time broken into two separate stories. The first is a 26-minute segment entitled “Fiction,” which highlights the life of Marcus (Leo Fitzpatrick), an aspiring writer who was born with deformities due to cerebral palsy. He unsuccessfully tries to read a new short story to his girlfriend Vi (Selma Blair), and leaves her after the story is similarly dismissed by his fellow students and teacher, Mr. Scott (Robert Wisdom), a black Pulitzer Prize winner. Vi approaches Mr. Scott in a bar one night and agrees to go home with him, recalling a “fictional” account of their experience in the next class. The second segment, titled “Nonfiction,” follows Toby Oxman (Paul Giamatti), a thirtysomething sad sack who gets the idea to make a documentary of contemporary suburban teenage life. Looking for subjects, he runs into Scooby (Mark Webber), a disaffected, dim young man who dreams of being a TV star. Scooby’s home life is highly dysfunctional, with a strict father (John Goodman), a prim and proper mother (Julie Hagerty), a football player brother (Noah Fleiss), and a younger brother Mikey (Jonathan Osser), who continually chats up the family’s put-upon maid Consuelo (Lupe Ontiveros). Consuelo is soon banished from the household due to her involvement with Mikey, becoming an outcast just like Scooby., Todd Solondz’s film tells two separate stories. In Fiction, Selma Blair ignores her disabled boyfriend’s writing talents to pursue creative-writing professor Robert Wisdom, while Nonfiction sees would-be filmmaker Paul Giamatti shoot a documentary about his friend Mark Webber’s life while behind the camera, Giamatti’s family is falling apart. Fascinating and challenging, this is a dark look at relationships and family.
