USA, 2012
What purpose is there in an insincere life? Perhaps an aimless movie couldn’t dare answer such a heady question, but The Comedy, a new independent film starring Tim Heidecker of the TV show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, at least considers it through its main character. Swanson rambles through life, unattached to anyone or anything. As such, The Comedy represents whatever you, the viewer, bring to it. The film’s director and writers are, it seems, very careful in allowing the film to have a deliberately vague sensibility, turning it into a cinematic Rorschach test.
The 35-year old Swanson leads a charmed life, spending debauched, disaffected nights in Williamsburg with his friends (played by, among others, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Heidecker’s TV partner, Eric Wareheim), and days wandering around New York City. »
