Happiness (1998) 4K UHD + Blu-Ray | Criterion Collection

Todd Solondz’s Happiness is a darkly comedic and deeply unsettling portrait of suburban dysfunction, peeling back the facade of middle-class normalcy to reveal the desperate longing and hidden perversions beneath. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast—including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jane Adams, Lara Flynn Boyle, Ben Gazzara, and Dylan Baker—this fearless film weaves together the lives of lonely, damaged individuals searching for love in all the wrong places. As audacious as it is empathetic, Happiness remains one of the most provocative and controversial films of the 1990s.
