Today we have another documentary about funny people. Featuring among others, Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Klara Firestone and Rob Reiner, the topic director Ferne Pearlstein’s The Last Laugh is whether it’s ever acceptable to use humour when dealing with a tragedy of the scale of the holocaust…
I’m thinking it’s not necessarily what you do but when and how you do it. It’ll be interesting to see how the professionally funny break this down in more detail.
Life, Animated is a documentary about a family’s experience of Autism and the way Disney movies helped them through in an unexpected way…
This is one I want to see because I already agree that film and the stories within them are great equipment for living. I also love finding out about the many different ways it is just that for other people as well. Directed by Roger Ross Williams, I’m looking forward to learning about the Suskind family’s experience with autism and disney movies.
