A visual and verbal palindrome, Happy
Ending uses the same footage — played
forward, then in reverse — to tell two
opposing stories. Thus, the tale of a young
man who overcomes obstacles to find his
true love, when reversed, becomes a fateful
tale of two lovers torn apart by betrayal and
jealousy. At once a stirring mood piece and
a highly disciplined examination of the
impact of movement, this award-winning
black-and white noir offers a uniquely new
perspective on narrative cinema.
