The Comedy (2012)
Not For Everyone
There is something to be said about this film. It is real and uncomfortable, but I believe that there is something deeper going on here.
We watch a bunch of genuinely unpleasant people go from place to place, and in a nutshell that's it. At least on the surface that is.
This is could be a commentary on what freedom can do to someone. Our main character seems to have no real connection with people outside of his small group of friends. He has the possibility to inherit his father's fortune, instead goes from place to place and seems to exists.
The protagonist is a deplorable person, don't get me wrong, but you can connect with him in his longing to have something meaningful to happen. I can see some people not liking the fact that nothing seems to really happen in the film, but because our main character doesn't have anything purposeful happen to him, the film reflects that.
The cinematography in the film has a lot of up close shots allowing us to really read into the emotions of the main character.
One thing I haven't really mentioned is that the dialog is very interesting. It can go from something funny and seemingly lighthearted, but then does a complete 180. There we're several scenes where the humor is really there.
Overall, this film is not for really a wide crowd, but if any of this sounds interesting, I wholly recommend it.
