“The film is infuriating by design,” I wrote of Maurice Pialat’s We Won’t Grow Old Together a couple months ago, and I could say the same thing of Rick Alverson’s The Comedy, which opens this weekend at Facets Multimedia. This New York-shot independent feature works hard to present its characters as unpleasant, bigoted, infantile, and cruel. If it displays anything resembling sympathy, it’s for the walk-on players who have to put up with the protagonists. And like much of Pialat’s work, The Comedy purposely lacks a recognizable dramatic structure that might safely contain the awful (yet acutely observed) behavior. The viewer is forced to wallow in it, then organize his thoughts afterwards.
