A Saudi short movie called Monopoly. It's about the shortness of white lands in the country, and how youth suffer from how high those lands cost. It is available in English subtitles.
This movie is labeled as black comedy (which is making fun of big issues, mostly sarcastically)
If you want to know a bit about the main types of comedy, I will present to you five types of it:
1- Romantic Comedy, it's about romantic love between people, usually ends with happy ending like marriage.
2- Satirical Comedy, when you make fun of social issues using irony, and criticize it without hurting people. For example gossip, and fashion trends.
3- Black comedy, which is also called "dark hummer." It deals with big issues. (A good example to understand this kind of comedy is to which the short movie.)
4- Comedy of Manner, it's when you criticize behaviors of whom usually are upper class people, and usually doing parody of them. Like how they dress or eat.
5- Farce, it's a short musical play that's too exaggerated to make fun of many things.
Those are the types of comedy I learned in my Shakespeare class. I thought sharing it with you to make this topic as useful as I can.
