Includes bibliographical references and index.
This examination of dark comedies of the 1970s focuses on films which concealed black humor behind a misleading genre label. The book covers 12 essential films, including Harold and Maude (1971), Slaughterhouse-5 (1972), One flew over the cuckoo's nest (1975) and Being there (1979), with notes on A clockwork orange (1971). These films reveal a compounding complexity that reinforces the absurdity at the heart of dark comedy.
