Happy End (Region Free)

Oldich Lipsk’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 Vladimr Menk 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,Happy Endmakes its world premiere on Blu-ray.
