Solondz agreed to an interview upon the release of his
fifth feature, Palindromes (he asks folks not to track down his
directorial debut, Fear, Anxiety & Depression, which my editor, Bill, describes as something like a satire of Solondz films), another picture garnering an extreme amount of political fallout following the similarly - tumultuous receptions to his Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, and Storytelling.
And Jordan Peele of «Get Out» is only the
fifth African - American director to be nominated in history, as well as the third filmmaker to be nominated for writing, directing, and best picture for a
feature directorial debut.
