We're very excited to announce that "The Comedy" is an official selection in competition at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
Sundance Director John Cooper in the Salt Lake Tribune:
One film, brazenly titled “The Comedy” is “one of the more complex films in there,” Cooper said. “It’s really a social critique of our culture now.”
From Entertainment Weekly:
“This is not a comedy,” says Cooper. It stars Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Adult Swim’s comedy weird-fest Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Good Job! but despite those guys and the movie’s title, it’s more of a sardonic drama than a laugh-fest. Heidecker (pictured) plays Swanson, an man inheriting a massive estate who is nonetheless bored with life. “It’s a provocation, a critique of a culture based at its core around irony and sarcasm and about ultimately how hollow that is,” Groth says. Cooper adds: “It’s dry and ironic, even from the title.” (Director: Rick Alverson, Screenwriters: Rick Alverson, Robert Donne, Colm O’Leary)
