Welcome to the doghouse: the latest hilariously biting comedy from Todd Solondz is a twisted Lassie for misanthropes. It follows the wayward adventures of a dachshund who passes from oddball owner to oddball owner-including the world's worst mom, a beleaguered screenwriter, and the grownup in's Dawn Wiener-whose radically dysfunctional lives are all impacted by the pooch.

Featuring an all-star cast that includes Greta Gerwig, Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn, and Zosia Mamet, "Wiener-Dog" is a tragically funny, wondrously warped look at the absurdity of life (and death) from one of contemporary cinema's most fearless and unique voices.
