Filming a dark comedy about an inherently controversial subject is an exceedingly risky moviemaking proposition. If it works, the payoff can be huge. But, if it falls flat, the project not only fails financially and artistically, but it can devastate a filmmaker’s reputation, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of viewers, critics and possible prospective backers of future productions.
