A hilarious, black comedy about a teenage cartoonist, who rejects the comforts of his suburban life in a misguided quest for soul.

Robert (Daniel Zolghadri) is missing the lived experience that gives his cartoonist idols, like Robert Crumb, their edge. Trading in his parent’s middle-class home for a dingy basement apartment, Robert meets a bizarre veteran cartoon colourist, Wallace (Matthew Maher), and has to decide whether the cost of getting an edge to his art is worth the payoff.

Produced by the Safdie Brothers (Good Time, Uncut Gems), Funny Pages is an acidly hilarious and refreshingly absurd, unlikely-buddy movie.

The young director Owen Kline packs worlds of cringe into Funny Pages … it’s all here in this terrific, tonally flawless feature debut.” – The New York Times
