House of Gucci to be a comedy?

[OMonster 14,634]

The director of photography recently commented that:

“This film is going to be a little different. It’s a bit of a kitschy, funny, tragic tragedy — like a high-end soap opera. With a crazy cast as well.”

Added to the rumour that Gaga will be breaking the fourth wall, this makes me wonder if House of Gucci will actually be a comedy/have significant comedic elements?

I'm surprised because I was really expecting a dark crime thriller... not something campy. It's going to be very interesting.

poot.

I don't see why the "breaking-the-fourth-wall" device can't be used for dramas. People automatically assume it's a comedy device, is there any reason for it?

 

I really don't see how this murder tale can be a comedy, it's such a dark story and Gaga's scenes on set seem so intense. Like, you can tell she wasn't trying to be funny.

I think its gonna be very CAMP.

Lets be honest, the people involved in this are top tier, they know what they are doing, they are taking risks.

I think in the worse case scenario the gp doesnt “get it” but it will still become a cult classic.

I’m kinda here for “hello? 911? I just killed my husband” paparazzi campyness

Sounds like less of an Oscar movie that way tho

I hope it's not a real "comedy" but I trust in Ridley Scott and think it will be good.

Isn’t it described as a drama/crime thriller? Sure, there may be funny moments, but that doesn’t mean that it’ll be a comedy.

This. It’s definitely not going to be a comedy.

I hope not. I loathe comedy movies. 

[vpez 1,250]

I hope it's not, because most aren't funny in my opinion.
But a little humor wouldn't hurt I guess

I think it’ll have humor and camp but it will still be a serious drama. Which is the exact movie I LOVE 

God I already know I’m going to love this movie.

I think it just might have a dark comedic undertone

[MelbHawker 6,583]

It definitely will not be a comedy given the plot. 

[boyerased 2,848]

Maybe like Succession or The Wolf of Wall Street. Prestige comedy is hard to achieve, mind you.

It makes me think of Knives Out which had humor despite being a drama, not to mention the stellar Cast as well. So if HOG is anything like Knives Out, i'll love it!
