Happy End (CZ)

In order to achieve the necessary happening, the authors decided to narrate the story from the end. In the comedy about Bedřich Frydrych butcher who decided to revenge his wife´s adultery, people move backwards, horses jumps over fences in reverse gallop, death turns into birth… For Czechoslovakia back then, it was unseen film experiment that failed with the audience, but the contemporary one can appreciate the courage of its creators.
