Love that Todd Solondz. After the ugliness of his Happiness and Storytelling films comes his latest (tomorrow), Palindromes. Get this - the heroine is a 12 year old girl who wants to have a baby. She gets pregnant but is forced to abort it by her Mum (Ellen Barkin). She then gets friendly with a woman called Mama Sunshine who teaches her commune of disadvantaged kids to rap Christian songs. At the weekend the men of the commune murder abortion doctors. The end.
Todd - "It's easy to love mankind when mankind's all beautiful, but can you embrace mankind when you accept the full range of who we are? That's the real challenge".
