The Last Laugh: What with the doc’s abundance of comedy greats like Mel Brooks, Rob Reiner and Sarah Silverman, Renee Firestone may not count as the most famous interview subject in The Last Laugh, a Hot Docs 2016 selection that returns for an extended run this week. The film includes a delightful encounter between Clary and Firestone where they again find some mirth amid the pain. The Last Laugh plays March 10-28 at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema. The reason is the progressive myopia that has inevitably had a dramatic impact on the Chilean-Canadian filmmaker’s life and work. Larrain will surely have more to say about her unique personal journey at the Q&A after the screening at the Revue on March 12.
