Comedy On The Edge

Pushing the envelope of what's considered "funny," these films challenge stereotypes, social conventions, and taboos in order to get a rise out of viewers. Sometimes satirical, sometimes philosophical, sometimes macabre, they set out to test the limits of comedy, and as such will not appeal to every viewer. One thing is for sure: they're bound to provoke strong reactions.
