'Palindromes': A Strange Odyssey from Director Solondz

By Bob Mondello
Published April 13, 2005 at 12:00 AM EDT

Palindromes is the dark, new film comedy by Todd Solondz. It's a sequel to the writer-director's Welcome to the Dollhouse. Bob Mondello says like that earlier film, this new one deals almost exclusively with discomfiting subjects.
