In the "Have Fun" section, we give you four "serious" reasons to smile! The selected productions exemplify contemporary trends in the comedy genre, which increasingly comments on our daily lives with sensitivity and a sense of humor towards the characters.
"Triangle of Sadness," directed by Ruben Östlund, is a Palme d'Or-winning madcap comedy set on a luxurious yacht among the world's richest people. An ocean of champagne, a sea of money, and a captain who always sails against the tide (a brilliant performance by Woody Harrelson!) – this is a voyage for our times.
We'll continue our journey through the comedic ocean with the Oscar-winning production "Knives Out." Directed by Rian Johnson, this award-winning film is a witty, brilliant, and captivating story of Detective Blanc, who tries to unravel a criminal intrigue.
The next stop in the "Have Fun" section is sunny Tuscany. Can you imagine a better place to spend the summer? James D'Arcy's film "Made in Italy" is a "feel-good movie" that confirms cinema's ability to uplift, improve mood, entertain, and move.
The section finale will feature the globally beloved comedy "Serial (Bad) Weddings 2." Directed by Philippe de Chauveron, it's one of the biggest French box office hits with 12 million viewers in France. The story centers on four beautiful daughters ready for marriage and their conservative parents, dreaming of finding them the right husbands.
Screenings in the "Have Fun" section are funded by the 2024 Civic Budget and held under the patronage of TME Polówka.
