Movie selection for lovers of tragicomedy

4

Tragicomedy is an ideal genre from the point of view of a demanding viewer. If we often find comedy primitive and empty, and drama too depressing and depressing, then tragicomedy takes all the best, combining a portion of humor with a share of life drama, when while watching a movie there is something to laugh at, but there is something to think about. Perhaps we love tragicomedy because it is closest to reality. Indeed, just as in life there is no only “white" or only “black”, so tragicomedy is ambiguous and not one-sided in its presentation of the plot. That is why we decided to dedicate today’s film critic column entirely to this genre.

old habits

Comedy drama starring Gillian Jacobs. Her character is 35-year-old Kate. The girl wrote and published her first book, but, unfortunately, the readers did not have a crushing success, which is why the publishing house cancels her autograph tour. In addition, Kate broke up with her fiancé and is looking in vain for a meeting with him. At this difficult moment in life, the girl receives an invitation from her former professor to visit her native university and give a lecture to its current students. Upon arrival at her Alma mater, Kate is flooded with a wave of student memories, she remembers her old habits, and in the guys who are 15 years younger than her, she finds true friends.

The film will appeal to all lovers of literature, writing, as well as eternal students and those who have experience living in a hostel.
