2º – Life is Sweet (Mike Leigh, 1990)
A middle-class English family tries to find a common and happy life living in the suburbs of London. ‘Life is Sweet’ is a film about evil that discreetly corrodes the synthesis of several families, working with compulsions, the innocence of certain individuals, social obligations and the notion of hope.
1º – Happiness (Todd Solondz, 1998)
This book synthesizes the whole idea of this list. Here, we will see the search for various characters for happiness, facing the most diverse types of physical, moral or psychological obstacles, simply to discover that the element sought does not exist. A provocative movie, repulsive at certain times, but deliciously accurate in its onslaughts. One of the most audacious films of the 1990s and the greatest work of the career of the great Todd Solondz.
