Frequently asked questions

What is The Comedy about? Toggle content

In this dark comedy, a wealthy, aging hipster navigates aimlessly through life, indulging in games of mock sincerity and recreational cruelty towards those around him. With no clear narrative, the film presents a series of vignettes showcasing the protagonist's offensive behavior as he improvises situations to make strangers and acquaintances uncomfortable. From sarcastically praising Hitler to desecrating objects in a church, his antics are both absurd and cringe-worthy. As he drifts through life, he briefly finds connection with a waitress, but ultimately remains disconnected from the world around him. The film's tone is both humorous and unsettling, offering a commentary on the ennui and superficiality of contemporary society.
