Some Like It Hot is showing at the Forum Des Images in Paris on Saturday, May 2, at 5:30 pm, as part of a wide-ranging series, ‘The Art of Lying.’
“Pursued by gangsters, two musicians disguise themselves as male musicians and get hired by an all-female orchestra. There they meet the sultry and innocent Sugar, who is completely unaware of their scheme. A pinnacle of Hollywood comedy, with a liberating nonconformity.”
Over in the Netherlands, Some Like It Hot is showing at Filmhuis Den Haag on Wednesday, May 6, at 6:30 pm; you can order tickets here. This screening will be introduced by Dr. Lenore Todd from Leiden University, as part of another film series, ‘This is [Not] Funny.’ (Of course, Some Like It Hot is considered one of the funniest movies ever made – but for its fugitive heroes, the stakes couldn’t be higher…)
“‘This Is [Not] Funny’ is a daring film programme that explores the shifting borders of humour, where laughter becomes uncomfortable, political, or deeply revealing. From razor-sharp satire to dark, absurd comedy, these films test how far humour can stretch before it breaks … Funny, painful, provocative, and unsettling — ‘This Is [Not] Funny’ asks audiences to sit with their laughter and question it. Because sometimes the joke reveals more than we expect.”
