Can you sometimes feel annoyed when an audicence laughs at the darkly funny things in your films, as opposed to being more analytical and open to embrace the tragedy?

Don't get me wrong, Everything Will Be OK is an insanely good black comedy, but to me it's more tragic than it's anything else. I often get the feeling when watching black comedy together with other people that many are so eager to laugh at funny stuff that they end up ignoring the deep tragedy that is so central to black comedy. And that saddens me.

I often watch your films as a therapeutic experience, as something that makes me feel better about myself. People who laugh out loud at funny details kind of ruins that for me. Thoughts on this?
