The Importance of Humor in the Film

I wondered if it's controlled, it's contained, it doesn't become out and out comedy. Was it a lighthearted set in those moments? No, it really was. And I mean, as I'm sure you've heard before in some version of it's not comedy if the players are in on the joke really. So this was the absurdity and the humor is because the characters are so locked into the world that they find themselves in. They have no idea at all of the absurdity of the relationships that they're a party to. But no, you just play for real. Absolutely.
