Are you familiar with the term dark comedy? Simply put it's when we laugh at something that conventional society would generally tell us it's not ok to laugh at. Enter Jojo Rabbit, this is dark comedy! Taking place in the midst of WWII Nazi Germany, there's death, kids being indoctrinated to hate Jews, young love, singing, and a dancing Hitler. It might sound ridiculous, and it is, but it's also very intelligent. We challenge you not to laugh!
Leon loves this movie very much and he's chosen a few scenes for us to watch together and talk about. Let's get a feel for this film that shamelessly breaks boundaries, has some of Hollywood's most respected actors, and is written and directed by one of the most talented and controversial minds in film. Let's try to get a better understanding of the human condition as we laugh our butts off but also think deeply (yes, you can do both at the same time).
Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs as we sip on stiff cocktails, eat tasty popcorn, and watch a limit-pushing dark comedy that Leon is so excited to share with you. And, of course, let's have deep and intelligent discussions about our mutual cinematic journey!
