Happiness

The 1998 American black comedy-drama film "Happiness" follows multiple loosely related narratives that intertwine as they navigate their lives in search of human connection. Traversing the complexities of suburban New Jersey life, the film delves into the darker aspects of relationships, family dynamics, and personal despair, all set against a backdrop of societal norms that often prove to be woefully inadequate. With its bold tracking of controversial contemporary themes and remarkable fluidity of visual style, "Happiness" is a thought-provoking and uncomfortable watch that challenges viewers to confront the harsh realities of human existence.
