Happiness (1998) is a disturbingly dark yet high quality, underwatched film. It also features the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his more archetypal performances.
Written and directed by Todd Solondz, the indie auteur of my prior Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995) recommendation, the film also stars Jon Lovitz, Lara Flynn Boyle, Jane Adams, and the brilliantly creepy Dylan Baker.
As we saw throughout the mid/late-1990’s, the film weaves together several separate storylines and characters.

I figured you would appreciate that more than most, Earl.
Chess, I haven’t viewed this one, but Dylan Baker is great as a creep. 4th season of ‘Damages’ was made so good by his work.
yes!
