What The Art of Self-Defense Is About
Riley Stearns's 2019 film follows an accountant who joins a karate school after being attacked in the street. His teacher promises to make him strong. The school's night classes are different. The film mocks the idea of manliness; the narrative darkens its comedy step by step. Jesse Eisenberg and Alessandro Nivola lead. The performances are kept deliberately flat. The tone is dry. Who it's for: those who like black comedy. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by sudden, harsh violence; the film changes tone abruptly.
