The dark ‘Art’
The dark heart of “The Art of Self-Defense” (R; ⋆⋆⋆) makes it one of the blackest comedies in recent years. After Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) is attacked by a motorcycle gang, he turns to a karate school whose charismatic sensei (Alessandro Nivola) has the mind-twisting skills of a cult leader. Their unusual relationship sets up a bizarre contrast between the rules of martial arts and the lack of rules in the real world. Embracing and dismissing big ideas without hesitation, the film often spirals into absurdity.
