Men…
Film Comment Selects 2017
February 17 - 23, 2017
This German screwball comedy about a jilted husband who, on the sly, becomes the roommate of and gradually befriends his wife’s new, artsy lover is fast-paced silliness, full of witty dialogue and engaging performances.
“’German screwball comedy’ are words not often heard together. But in 1985, Doris Dörrie gifted the movie world with Men…, which comprised all the necessary elements. The story of a jilted husband who, on the sly, becomes the roommate of and gradually befriends his wife’s new, artsy lover is fast-paced silliness, full of witty dialogue and engaging performances. The movie is not easy to find, with only a terribly transferred and even more terribly dubbed DVD available in the U.S.” (Laura Kern, Film Comment) Catch it at this rare screening.

Please note: this screening will take place in the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
