SHAUN OF THE DEAD - Comedy Film Fest at FOMO Cinema
Sunday 19. April at 19:00 - 20:40
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
Edgar Wright | 2004 | UK | 1h39m | English audio and subtitles
Edgar Wright’s SHAUN OF THE DEAD remains one of the most satisfying genre comedies of the 2000s because it understands both sides of its own appeal. It's a real zombie film, made with genuine affection for Romero and for horror mechanics in general, but it's also a brilliantly observed comedy about inertia, routine, male adolescence, and the grim comfort of doing nothing with your life until the apocalypse forces you to move.
The writing is packed with setups and payoffs, the performances are pitch-perfect, and the film’s comic rhythm is so precise that even tiny gestures keep paying off. It is witty, warm, sad, gross, and thrilling all at once. Few comedies move this cleanly between tones.
WHY I'VE INCLUDED IT IN THIS WEEK’S PROGRAM: To close the week, I wanted a film that delivers big laughs while still feeling smart, warm, and beautifully made. I'm a huge fan of Wrights' Cornetto Trilogy, and SHAUN OF THE DEAD brings horror into the lineup without losing sight of character.
