|||| Funny Ha Ha 8 January

Shot in 16mm, FUNNY HA HA examines life after college in an understated and moving way. Everything about FUNNY HA HA feels familiar, from the characters to the dialogue. Focusing more on character than on plot, the film revolves loosely around Marnie (Dollenmayer), an attractive and intelligent young woman searching clumsily for some sense of purpose in what seems at times like an aimless life.
