Produced in collaboration with The New York Times, Sorry/Not Sorry is a thought-provoking film examining public shaming, “wokeness,” and culpability. It poses the question: do famous men ever really get cancelled?
Flashback to 2017, the year of #MeToo, as the Times publishes an article about celebrated and influential comedian Louis C.K., alleging years of sexual misconduct against numerous female comedians and colleagues. In the aftermath, C.K.’s career seems to nose-dive… But shockingly, within nine months he is back touring, has TV specials lined up, and is awarded a Grammy for Best Comedy Album.
To understand why, directors Caroline Suh and Cara Mones interview the reporters who broke the story, along with comedians, entertainers, and cultural commentators—raising questions about sex and power in the workplace, who gets to take the stage, and the role the public plays in these stories at large.
Official selection 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
Fascinating… breaks down, scene by scene, how easily misbehavior can be twisted into a punch line.
