An article on AwardsDaily has stumbled upon some nice finds. First up is the Life During Wartime poster. In fact, two posters. It's the same image, but interestingly, the English poster gives the boy a different color flower in his hand and smoother shorts. Life During Photoshop, I suppose.
Secondly, the trailer (yay!) has been posted on Youtube, courtesy of Artifical Eye LDT's UK distributor. Here's a direct link. Enjoy!
Life During Wartime is scheduled to be released theatrically in the US this summer. According to an article at indiewire.com, IFC have acquired the rights to screen the film via their IFC in Theaters platform, which simultaneously releases movies in theaters and on VOD. There's no mention in this article or others on the same story of whether a DVD release is planned yet, so I'm guessing not.
The president of IFC Entertainment, Jonathan Sehring, is quoted as saying, “we are so thrilled to be releasing this darkly funny and bittersweet film, which we consider amongst his best work. We think it's perfect for all our platforms.” And Solondz added, “The people at IFC Films are the swellest! This is going to be fun!”
Life During Wartime, which is officially being called a "sequel/ variation to Happiness" (characters also return from Welcome To the Dollhouse) has now publically screened and details are out in spades. There're a lot of articles mentioning the film coming out each day, now, but I've found two of the best sources for info to be this Blog Critics article, and this review at ScreenDaily. There's also a brief interview with him at Reuters, which isn't terribly revelatory, but still worth a quick read.
