MIFF: But Also John Clarke

Documentary


 

John Clarke's daughter, Lorin, has curated a documentary of his life and work spanning decades, as his wry humour had no best-before date when entertaining antipodean audiences.

A cavalcade of celebrity talking heads come to share memories and pay homage to a much-loved comedian who held up a mirror so we could admire - and laugh at - the unique traits that bind us as countrymen. His work wasn't always political, but that avenue produced some of his best works. "But Also John Clarke" captures both the commentator and the satirist, who has been described as a benignly skewering force. Will hit you right in the funny bone.
