“The roles that I play in comedies, the emotional investment in stuff is higher…or, if not higher, the emotional investment is necessary to keep the stakes high and keep things funny is almost more challenging with comedy.”

    KANSAS CITY

    ROBERT ALTMAN France, 1996

    If Nashville was Altman’s ode to country music, then Kansas City is his great love ballad to Kansas City jazz. In loose swings and percussive blasts, this 1930s crime drama ripples with intrigue while boasting a stellar ensemble cast of acting and music legends, like the late, great Harry Belafonte.

    A FISH IN THE BATHTUB

    JOAN MICKLIN SILVER United States, 1999

    Starring iconic comedy duo (and real-life couple) Jerry Stiller & Anne Meara, this fish-out-of-water comedy about a marital breakup is a feel-good film about feeling bad. A cherubic Mark Ruffalo, Stiller yelling at everyone, the always excellent Doris Roberts, and a fish POV: What more do you want?
