Directed by Andrew Bujalski | 90 mins | 2002
The first feature by Bujalski and a veritable manifesto for the lo-fi, DIY, radically modest “mumblecore” movement, "Funny Ha Ha" stars Kate Dollenmayer as Marnie, a 23-year-old recent college graduate in Boston still drinking like a freshman and making bad decisions with dubious men as she drifts between mundane temp jobs and the kind of house parties that make you want to leave as soon as you arrive. “Mr. Bujalski captures the ache of [Marnie’s] existence without pity or melodrama… A deft group portrait of recent college graduates… groping their way across the flatlands of early adulthoods.” —The New York Times
