The offscreen infamy of Louis C.K. \u2014 his coercive and abusive ritual of masturbating in front of women, many of whom were his co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n colleagues \u2014 was first revealed in the mainstream media nearly seven years ago, amid the tidal wave of reckoning that became #MeToo. I thought: Is the film going to be about how Louis C.K. is now sorry\u2026and not sorry? And what point-of-view will the documentary take?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSorry\/Not Sorry\u201d does deal with Louis C.K.\u2019s reaction to the scandal: his message of apology that was never quite an apology; his carefully orchestrated comeback, after only nine months, via the comedy-club circuit (a comeback that ultimately encompassed his winning a Grammy for best comedy album in 2022 and performing a concert in the round at Madison Square Garden); and how he dealt with the repercussions of his behavior within his stand-up act (short version: He\u2019s not sorry).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But that\u2019s all covered in the last 20 minutes. Most of \u201cSorry\/Not Sorry\u201d tracks the 15 or so years leading up to 2017. During that time, Louis C.K. was becoming the most powerful figure in stand-up comedy, launching his fabled <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> on FX, and (offstage) indulging in his reckless behavior without fear of recrimination, because the whole comedy world was protecting him. The documentary is a production of the New York Times, and as directed by Caroline Suh and Cara Mones, it\u2019s a meticulously sharp, responsible, and absorbing movie \u2014 an incisive study, really, of the sweep-it-under-the-rug culture that was firmly in place before the #MeToo revolution knocked some of its foundations askew. But the movie is also asking larger questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Early on, we see a clip from \u201cCharlie Rose,\u201d in which Charlie, seated opposite Louis C.K., tells the comedian that he\u2019s been compared to Lenny Bruce and Bob Dylan, anointed as a \u201cphilosopher king.\u201d C.K. grins with humblebrag sheepishness (he\u2019s clearly flattered) and then says, \u201cI\u2019m just a comedian.\u201d The clip made me cringe, though not just because of what we now know he was hiding. C.K., by that point, had become a culture hero, yet if I can part ways with the culture, I always found him to be a clever but fundamentally overpraised comedian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cLouie,\u201d on FX, was greeted as the second coming, but to me it was the weekly version of an \u201cedgy\u201d indie film that had stray nuggets of squirm-factor hilarity but insisted, in every episode, on breaking up what was best about it \u2014 its air of authenticity \u2014 with overstatement and contrivance. It annoyingly straddled the line between prickly reality and sitcom fakery. If it <em>had<\/em> been an indie film, it would have come and gone without fanfare. But on the small screen, the show somehow passed as Revolutionary Popular Art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly a staunch advocate of separating the art from the artist. Yet part of what came into focus after the Louis C.K. scandal is that in my (admittedly minority) opinion, the reason he struck me as a gifted but limited comedian was not because he wasn\u2019t a smart and funny man, but <em>because<\/em> his view of the universe was so blinkered. I remember seeing him do a routine about getting ready to go on vacation with his family, and he describes walking around the van feeling something like: This is the last moment of pleasure and freedom I\u2019m going to have for a week. I can get as impatient with my family as anyone, but I thought: <em>Really?!<\/em> <em>You don\u2019t even like going on vacation with them?<\/em> I\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s not a \u201ctypical\u201d inside-the-mind-of-a-bro-geek reaction \u2014 it\u2019s warped. It\u2019s the thought of someone who isn\u2019t h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y in his own skin. And I thought: It\u2019s absurd that he\u2019s <em>generalizing <\/em>from that. Louis C.K. always comes on like he\u2019s touching universal chords in the tradition of Richard Pryor and George Carlin, but really he\u2019s unpacking a distorted POV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    No question, though: He had talent, he pushed the envelope, and he wrapped his observations in a confessional aura that often had more resonance than what he was actually confessing. He became the superstar of angry brainy white-guy angst, and he knew that his superstardom protected him. After the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, there was much discussion of who knew what and when they knew it, and while it was obvious that Weinstein had been shielded for years by those around him, and by the whole entertainment industry, I do believe that relatively few people knew the horrific extent of his crimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In the case of Louis C.K., his transgressions were far less extreme, but as the documentary reveals, they were incredibly widely known. The incident that became iconic occurred at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2002, when C.K. invited two comedians, Dana Goodman and Julia Wolov, to his hotel room and, once there, asked if he could take his penis out, which they first thought was a joke. They gave no consent. He got undressed and masturbated, and they were horrified and felt paralyzed. They finally fled, and he called out afterward, \u201cWhich one is Dana and which one is Julia?\u201d That\u2019s actually a significant line, since it\u2019s a \u201ccomic\u201d expression of the dehumanization his compulsive ritual was really about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    People gossip \u2014 about everything. And especially stuff like this. Louis C.K.\u2019s pattern was, according to the movie, the comedy world\u2019s open secret. More or less everyone knew about it and \u201caccepted\u201d it. It was just\u2026what Louis C.K. did. And if you questioned it, it could kill your career. Goodman and Wolov were told to keep quiet, and the film suggests that in L.A. they were squeezed out of potential jobs by Louis C.K.\u2019s manager, Dave Becky. Given the \u201cLouie\u201d-like TV series that C.K.\u2019s company was producing (for people like Pamela Adlon and Tig Notaro), he was almost like a studio head. But the spilling-over-the-sides world of the Internet had arrived. C.K.\u2019s behavior was cited in several high-profile blind items on Gawker. The comedian Jen Kirkman implicated him on her podcast without naming him. The truth was starting to swirl to the surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It all exploded, thanks to the work of Times reporters Jodi Kantor, Cara Buckley, and Melena Ryzik. But that was headline <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. The film deals most intriguingly with C.K.\u2019s incendiary, semi-under-the-radar return to the comedy world. He was able to do it by working independently, sidestepping the corporate apparatus of the networks and studios (who never invited him back). \u201cSorry\/Not Sorry\u201d meditates, intelligently, on the question of how the culture should deal with someone like Louis C.K. Michael Ian Black, the pensive comedian who started a controversial tweet thread about it, says, \u201cI was like, I\u2019m not defending Louis\u2019s actions. I\u2019m having, in public, a conversation that I feel like men are having in private \u2014 and women \u2014 all over this country, and saying, \u2018How do we deal with this? How do we welcome people back or not welcome people back?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The Times critic-at-large Wesley Morris suggests, quite rightly, that Louis C.K. should have done a reckoning. Instead, C.K. treated what happened to him as simply the \u201couting\u201d of his fetish, his obsession, and while he admitted that it was embarrassing, what he said to his audience (this is from a stand-up clip we see) is, \u201cYou all have your thing. I don\u2019t know what your thing is\u2026.\u2019Cause everybody knows my thing.\u201d As if <em>that\u2019s<\/em> the only thing that defines it \u2014 that it all became public. Louis C.K.\u2019s \u201cproblem\u201d is that he did something very wrong, but as \u201cSorry\/Not Sorry\u201d reveals, part of his problem is that he still has no idea why it\u2019s wrong. I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s not someone squeezing comedy out of truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
