Funny Ha Ha
This Is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts
July 19 - 31, 2019
The film that kickstarted the DIY revolution known as “Mumblecore,” Andrew Bujalski’s wry portrait of post-college aimlessness and ennui is the prototype for the lo-fi audiovisual style and realer-than-real life naturalism that would define the movement.
The film that kickstarted the DIY revolution known as “Mumblecore,” Andrew Bujalski’s wry portrait of twentysomething aimlessness and ennui is the prototype for the lo-fi audiovisual style and realer-than-real life naturalism that would define the movement. The story—as much as you can call it one—follows recent grad Marnie as she drifts through a post-college daze of temp jobs, lame parties, and fumbling flirtations, all the while grappling with a sincere but undefined desire to achieve…something. Capturing the awkward social rituals of everyday life with an astutely observed realism, Funny Ha Ha pointed the way toward a new wave of American indie cinema radical in its small-scale ambition.
