Comedy films are great at making life’s difficulties palatable. And the genre is often also used to address significant issues in a more friendly way than just inundating its audience with doom and gloom. From the political satire that addressed Cold War paranoia in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, to the commentary on para-social relationships in Ingrid Goes West, the genre is perfect for exploring complex themes.
