The Romantic Comedy; or, Love Has Obstacles • Wednesday, Nov 12, 6 PM
Ken Kimmelman, Emmy award-winning filmmaker and Aesthetic Realism consultant, says about this upcoming class in his course “If It Moves It Can Move You”: Opposites in the Cinema:
One of the most popular of film genres is the romantic comedy, in which two people delightfully overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. While these films are lightsome, entertaining, and sometimes zany—at their best, they also have depth and meaning, and represent the victory of what Aesthetic Realism describes love as being: “proud need.”
Some of the films I’ll be discussing are: The Goodbye Girl; Bringing Up Baby; My Cousin Vinnie. Call (212) 777-4490 to audit this class.
