Life During Wartime gets a cheerfully sinister poster

(click for full size)

Featuring an off-kilter kid who could easily creep out the Addams Family, the poster for Life During Wartime does a fine job capturing the dubious defective innocence of Todd Solondz. Described as “a half-sequel” to Happiness (because the same characters are being played by different actors) your feelings about the first film will determine your reaction to this one. If you thought Happiness was darkly hilarious, then Life During Wartime promises more of the same deviant weirdness. If Happiness gave you an uncomfortable itchy sensation from the inside out, then you’ll probably be equally allergic to the followup. From IFC via Vulture. UK trailer after the cut.
