Title: Win 1/10 "Happy End" double in-season passes Post by: culturebird on Wednesday 31 January 2018, 04:34:17 pm The Austrian provocateur returns with a thematic sequel to the harrowing L'Amour.
Master auteur Michael Haneke (Amour, The White Ribbon, Hidden) returns with a biting satire on bourgeois family values set in the shadow of the European refugee crisis. Featuring a cast of top acting talent, including Isabelle Huppert, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Mathieu Kassovitz and Toby Jones, it’s a piercing dark comedy on the blind preoccupations of middle-class angst. When her mother falls ill under mysterious circumstances, young Eve (Fantine Harduin) is sent to live with her estranged father’s relatives in Calais. The Laurent family – wealthy, neurotic and self-obsessed – own a lucrative construction company and live in a sprawling mansion house, waited on by servants. But trouble is brewing, as a series of intergenerational back-stabbings threaten to tear the family apart. Meanwhile, distracted by infidelities and betrayals, they fail to notice that their new arrival has a sinister secret of her own. We have 10 in-season double passes to Happy End to give away. To be in the running, email competitions@filmink.com.au, with HAPPY END GIVEAWAY in the subject line and tell us your favourite Michael Haneke movie, and don’t forget to include your mailing address.
