For what it is worth, if I made a film it would be like Star Knight. It is played with a straight face, when the cast should have been laughing at themselves for being straight-faced. The director must have been very patient, trying to keep everyone from laughing at the wonderful idiocy of it all. The Count plays it straight, the would-be knight is earnest, only the monk nearly spoils it - the camp must have been finally irresistible - and the princess? Is she shallow, or is she wise, or is she the sort of girl who likes being liked? Only the alchemist rings true, no doubt expressing the guiding philosophy here: it's all magic anyway.
So, what is irony? Is it like a bridge that fails to connect? Or is it like that spaceship, that can connect a man from heaven with a girl from earth?
Is irony a kind of magic? It is here.
