Wiener Dog Poster

Amazon Studios and IFC Films have unleashed a new trailer for Wiener-Dog, the new film from writer/director Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness). The story follows one particular Dachshund as she goes through a series of owners. The cast of the unusual comedy includes Ellen Burstyn, Kieran Culkin, Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Greta Gerwig, Tracy Letts, and Zosia Mamet. Wiener-Dog will be walking into theaters on June 24, 2016.

The Plot: Wiener-Dog is a dark, starkly funny story of a single dog and the many different people she touches over her short lifetime. Man’s best friend starts out teaching a young boy some contorted life lessons before being taken in by a compassionate vet tech named Dawn Wiener. Dawn reunites with someone from her past and sets off on a road trip. After leaving Dawn, Wiener-Dog encounters a floundering film professor, as well as an embittered elderly woman and her needy granddaughter—all longing for something more. Solondz’s perversely dark comedy offers an appallingly honest look at the American experience, brought to life by its all-star cast.
