Summary
Critically-acclaimed by ***The New York Times*** and ***Film Comment*** as one of the best films of 2005, Andrew Bujalski's debut feature film, FUNNY HA HA, is true U.S. independent filmmaking at its best. When you graduate college, you easily sashy into the world of adulthood, start a career, and get serious, right? Wrong. Marnie has left college, but not her drinking habits or her bad taste in men. What's more, Marnie can't seem to find a permanent job. It would be sad if it weren't so funny. Drawing on key influences such as John Cassavetes, Mike Leigh and Richard Linklater, Bujalski's honest depiction of today's disillusioned and somewhat aimless youth is a breath of fresh air in today's clustered independent film world intent on imitation rather than displaying a unique and fresh perspective of life as does Bujalski here in his impressive debut. Winner of the "Someone to Watch Award" at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards**. *"Bujalski has created a tender, funny and stealthily affecting portrait of youthful powerlessness and frustration." - Carina Chocano, **The Los Angeles Times***
