Based on a recent "black comedy" movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11813216/ Which is one of the weirdest and heaviest hitting films I've seen recently, and while there is some comedy, it is not a funny movie.

“Black Comedy” is synonymous with “Dark Comedy”.

Like, seriously, most of us call it Black Comedy:

"Banshees" was an interesting but puzzling film. I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was quite as approachable as McDonaghs other films. I suppose it's supposed to be an allegory to the futility of the Irish Civil War? If we the audience can't make a connection to something like that it feels a bit too abstract. I didn't make it far into the game, but it is a neat project.

I’ve seen a lot of people connecting it to the Irish Civil War, but I think there’s a lot in there about the inherent selfishness/social-push-pull of creation (of art, specifically).

Pretty certain that Colm Doherty was not referring to this game when he said this, but somehow it seems applicable.

Brilliant job!

> it is not a funny movie

Agree to disagree. I found it funny. Just try describing it to someone, and the premise is actually hilarious. But yes, dark, and heartbreaking in certain scenes. Great film.
