About Genre-Busting Dark Comedies of the 1970s

This examination of dark comedies of the 1970s focuses on films which concealed black humour behind a misleading genre label. The book covers 12 essential films, including Harold and Maude (1971), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Being There (1979). These films reveal a compounding complexity that reinforces the absurdity at the heart of dark comedy.
