Great Restorations - 100th anniversary of Oldřich Lipský
Stories about love are all the same: a happy beginning and an unhappy ending. Happy End is an original love story run in reverse and a highly inventive experimental comedy. A half-forgotten gem of Czechoslovak cinema and a treat for cinephiles. Digitally restored version presented to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Czech director Oldřich Lipský.
« Happy End. can astonish even the most cinephilic audiences today with its singular bravura, in a way vanishingly few feature films from the Golden Age of European cinema still can… It requires considerable mental gymnastics on the part of viewers to make sense of a narrative running in two temporal directions at once, each with very different implications for the fates of the characters on screen.» (Senses of Cinema).
