Synopsis
"Happy End" (Les Derniers jours du monde, 2009) is a French-Spanish absurdist comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu and starring Mathieu Amalric.
The world is ending — officially. Tokyo is burning, Paris has been hit. Robinson (the name is not accidental) hears the radio reports and keeps moving anyway, crossing Europe in pursuit of a woman who has become his obsession. He has already survived enough near-misses to stop worrying about global catastrophe. Catherine Frot, Sergi López, and Karin Viard come and go as the backdrop collapses around them.
The Larrieu brothers film at a quiet, unhurried frequency where the apocalypse registers as ambient noise, not drama. For viewers who prefer French art cinema that tilts toward the dark and the strange rather than the spectacular. Stream "Happy End" online on iFILM.
