Films of Steve Martin




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Steve Martin has been performing all his life. In 1979, he moved from stand-up comedy to the movies. In this study group, we’ll explore four of his screenplays that chart his film career as a screenwriter. The films are The Jerk, Roxanne, L.A. Story, and Bowfinger. Each week, participants will watch the assigned film in advance and then join an engaging discussion about Martin’s humor, writing style, and reflections on American life. No prior film study is required—just a sense of humor and curiosity about how comedy can illuminate the human condition.
