Description
A socially awkward misfit who barely speaks above a self-conscious mutter, Eddie seems an unlikely stand-up comedian. But that doesn’t stop him from trying: rehearsing into a Dictaphone, his jokes take the form of rambling complaints that trail off into ellipses rather than punchlines. Dustin Guy Defa’s first feature expertly treads the line between excruciating discomfort and dark humor. Preceded by Please Please Pick Up (US, 2010, HD, 13 min).
