In a carnival of absurdity and mortality, razor-sharp black humor shatters the polite hypocrisies of the modern world.
From riding thermonuclear warheads in Dr. Strangelove and luxury business-card envy in American Psycho, to medieval existential guilt in In Bruges and found-footage serial killers in Man Bites Dog. Across The Death of Stalin, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Lobster, this collection celebrates cinema’s most audacious, unsettling dark comedies.
