Storytelling is a film directed by Todd Solondz and shot in the USA in 2001.
action
Two storytellers portray the lives of American suburban youth in their own way. A white student captured her sexual experiences with her black professor in a story that caused a stir in her class, and a director is working on a documentary about American teenagers following a lethargic student and his bourgeois family.
structure
The film has two stories. First the part "fiction" and then the part "true stories" (English "non-fiction"). Both parts are intertextually connected with each other - for example by comments from the characters - and on a meta level with the film as a whole. For example, the creative writing professor says from the first part that non-fiction, as soon as it is written down as a fully formulated story, simultaneously becomes fiction.
Reviews
"A relentless look at the social conditions in American society."
