あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Shelf Criticism, Stephen navigates the turbulent waters of The Break-Up, a film that tries to subvert the romantic comedy genre but ends up leaving audiences divided. Delving into its mixed critical reception, Stephen explores how the film's attempt at an "anti-romantic comedy" both falls flat and intriguingly undercuts expectations. The discussion includes personal anecdotes, a critical analysis of the film's narrative flaws and strengths, and a cultural context that examines the waning popularity of romcoms as well as their potential resurgence. Also, surprisingly little discussion of nudity this time.
