Dark Horse (15)

Director Todd Solondz (Happiness) examines the irretrievability of youth and the mercilessness of the passage of time in a dark and idiosyncratic comedy. In his mid-30s, Abe clings to the trappings of his adolescence adorning his boyhood bedroom. Still living with his parents Jackie (Christopher Walken) and Phyllis (Mia Farrow), Abe throws himself into pursuing the overmedicated Miranda, but as they start a new life together, the film swerves into Abe’s subconscious, where crippling self-doubt and dark fears begin to undermine his dream of a fuller life.
