| Details | WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE (Todd Solondz, 1995, 35mm, 88 mins) Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo) is an awkward and overlooked middle child, harassed by bullies at her suburban New Jersey junior high and crushing on an aspiring rocker. She stumbles through social catastrophes and small triumphs in a cringe-inducing but compassionate coming-of-age story that won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. Darkly comic and deliberately uncomfortable, Solondz’s fearless cult classic remains one of cinema’s sharpest portraits of growing up on the outside. “A brilliantly malevolent treat” (Janet Maslin) that’s “hilariously provocative and almost too real” (Rich Cline). 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive. “Sundance Revisited” features a selection of films from our collection that had their American or world premieres at the festival. |
