Funny Ha Ha (2002)

Ultra low budget first feature from Bujalski following gawky college grad Marnie as she drifts aimlessly through life in a mid-20s existential crisis. As annoying as several of the characters are, I could really identify with the spirit of the movie. The characters indecisiveness, indirectness of communication, masking of real emotion with forced zaniness or incoherent small talk adds up to a vivid slice of a generation drama, however uneventful or boring much of these lives are. Certainly a promising new talent in US film.
