From The Three Amigos to Only Murders in the Building, Martin Short has built a career defined by decades of unforgettable characters, accents (yes, I mean Frank in Father of the Bride), and countless accolades. The comedian cut his teeth in Canada’s famed Second City Television before joining Saturday Night Live, which launched a career that would make him one of comedy’s most beloved performers. That journey is explored in the new documentary Marty, Life Is Short, which features testimonials from longtime friends and collaborators Eugene Levy and Steve Martin. The film also includes a heartbreaking reflection on the recent death of Short’s daughter. The comedy work of this master has always come from a deep well of humanity. —Carolina de Armas
