Happy End (Region Free)
Ā
OldÅich LipskĆ½'s one-of-a-kind Czech black comedy employs an ingenious twist - telling the life story of a philanderer and condemned murderer entirely in reverse: from his 'birth' at the guillotine, to his departure as an infant. Starring the great VladimĆr MenÅ”Ćk in a rare leading role, the film is wildly inventive and disarmingly hilarious.
The reverse chronology, with events playing out completely backwards, upends the narrative flow to become a playful, surreal, Dadaist experience unlike anything else in contemporary cinema.
Now beautifully restored in 4K,Ā Happy EndĀ makes its world premiere on Blu-ray.
