Best dark comedies

Completely on point for the apex black humour and the city of Bruges.

Messy, twisted, fun & whole lotta romance! keeps you awake & smiling.

Nothing could motivate your innate human freedom to come out more than a film with Gerard Depardieu traveling France on an old motorcycle.

Definitely not a masterpiece, but a very good film IMHO, good ideas, well built, good cast and thought provoking story.

Darkly comic depictions of death and life told entirely in static wide-angle, it doesn't take long to realise that you're the pigeon. I like everything about it apart from the fact that I found my attention wandering on occasion. There's often so little happening on screen, and at such a painstaking pace, that it's easy to lose focus. For those of a cynical, gallows sort of humour, there is much to love here.

anthimos depicts a subject society forces individuals to act social role like family & act oneself which is falsehood constructed by society. In this situation, do we act as true oneself by ourselves? In "Dogtooth"etc characters fail or get ambiguous consequence. But I think Colin Farrell reaches true oneself by pain & lost in truly Lanthimos-ish style. Cynical, gradually nihilistic but finally romantic masterpiece.

Disturbed people in pastel shades. A society satire dealing with the subjects of reality and family education, with absurd situations that may makes us laugh, but we can't help but choke on our laughter as disturbance becomes too serious to be funny.

Not as funny as I expected, but for that a lot smarter. I usually don't like it when in the end all answers are given, but this time it was worth it. This weird movie about a freak family goes well off the limits regarding good taste but when the secrets are revealed, it all makes sense. Even the excessive masturbation.

This is often very funny (the fat butcher's musing on the sausage is a highlight) but ultimately a little disturbing, not because of the black humour, but because it's played so straight you wonder if you've wandered into a drama. Great art direction.

Darkest black comedy I ever saw, it's way too delirious and random but kind of interesting in a morbid way. The ending was so sudden it jump scared me and totally caught me off guard.

Probably with the 50s happy days looking opening from the start you can tell this film has a dark side with Lynch setting you up with a false sense of security. MacLachlan playing 'detective' that's way over his head and Rossellini as the abused victim are standout. And then there's Hopper, after reading the script apparently said he was the psychopath Frank. Unsettling but definitely a memorable performance.

There's something tenaciously autobiographical about Żuławski's final work. His similarities to Gombrowicz's thoughts. Victória Guerra as an analogue to Marceau. His conclusion on the unsustainability of meaning to things: a tragedy of a comedy that is as formally interesting as ultimately lost in a lackluster cacophony of idiosyncrasies. But nonetheless it morbidly intrigues and fascinates.
