Laughing at the Absurd
Trauma

The Last Laugh (2016)

Director: Ferne Pearlstein. Pearlstein's documentary examines whether the Holocaust can be a subject for comedy, interviewing comedians and survivors about where the line falls and who gets to draw it. Can you laugh at the worst thing that ever happened? The comedians and survivors interviewed argue not only that you can, but that the refusal to laugh is itself a form of surrender.
