'The Banshees of Inisherin' & 9 Other Great Tragicomedies, Ranked ... (Collider.com)

Laughing and crying at the same time. Tragic Comedies. For those who aren't familiar with the genre, "tragicomedy" ...

Set during the occupation of Italy by German forces in the 1930s, this Roberto Benigni movie follows an open-minded and extremely creative Jewish waiter, Guido (played by Benigni), and his son, Giosué (Giorgio Cantarini). When he discovers that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl at their home, Jojo is forced to confront his nationalism. An incredible character study that will not leave anyone indifferent, Forrest Gump is easily one of the most moving films ever made. While the movie depicts an extremely devastating historical occurrence, it does so with humor, wit and imagination — which could obviously only result in a funny, intense and incredibly dramatic movie. Reflecting on politics and familial love (especially mother-son relationships), the innovative 2003 film is cleverly-written, equal parts sad and hilarious. After Alex (Daniel Brühl) is found protesting against the regime and arrested by the police, his mother suffers a serious heart attack that drives her to fall into a coma. Directed by the remarkable Bong Joon-ho, the 2019 feature follows a family who, struggling with poverty in a poor neighborhood, comes up with a meticulous plan in order to infiltrate an upper-class family's household. is a wonderfully directed black comedy by Wolfgang Becker and a very socially conscious one. Nonetheless, the 2010 movie manages to deliver a bit of humor, adding comedy and romance to the mix and ultimately turning out an intriguing character study. Although The Farewell isn't probably going to make viewers laugh out loud, it features tons of magical and joyful moments along the way despite its tragic storyline. The movie perfectly pairs the two genres together as it depicts the ending of a relationship between two long-time friends. Most of the time, a tragicomedy excels at interspersing dark moments with humor to lighten the mood.
