Shocked But Connected Notes on Laughter

Have you ever wondered why funny movies make us laugh? In Shocked But Connected, distinguished filmmaker and Yale professor Michael Roemer shares his thoughts on laughter and what causes us to chortle, snort, and guffaw when we watch the antics of actors onscreen. Incorporating theories from such great thinkers as Freud, Baudelaire, and Kierkegaard with the works of classic comedians like Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers, Roemer offers us a serious reflection on a lighthearted subject.
