Crossing different stories, “Storytelling” is a space of critics to the way in which stories are told and how, at bottom, it is always about the small miseries of human beings. The film is divided into two large blocks: one of a creative writing group; and other about a documentary filmmaker who wants to use a family to make a kind of urban ethnography. In the first case, Solondz uses the racist contradictions and power relations to make a satire to a certain intellectual community. In the second, the filmmaker seeks to show the “American family” own fragilities to look at how movies are constantly struggling to reveal a truth that is complex and difficult to understand. In short, “Storytelling is in constant tension with conflicting identities (be they racial, sexual, etc.) and with their forces of power. (DR)
