Description

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005), written by Sarah Silverman and directed by Liam Lynch, was shown at the High Falls Film Festival in Rochester, New York.Sarah Silverman is a unique comedian, and the movie is unique as well. Silverman is strikingly beautiful, and startlingly filthy-mouthed. The result is comedy that is not actually funny per se, but is funny because of the incredible contrast between what you expect and what Silverman delivers.I’ve noticed that most reviewers can’t refrain from quoting some lines from her performance. The problem with that practice is that if you read enough reviews, you’ve basically seen the movie. I’m going to refrain from revealing any part of her act. I’ll just say that Silverman makes jokes about matters that society assumes can’t be funny–9/11, racism, world hunger, AIDS.Silverman delivers her act in a neutral, confidential way. The contrast between Silverman’s straightforward, level manner and the nature of her comedy is what makes her unique. _______________________________________Since other comic shows have been uploaded here I figured I would add this great show to the mix. If you like comics, check this one out, Sarah’s style is well worth hearing – she’s not hard on the eyes either – though looked a tad out of shape for this taping (or the director is a moron)._______________________________________Looking for:Patty Contenta’s ebook on BodyLangaugeEd Miller’s Limit Hold’em DVDs (ripped)
