Happier Than Ever

About This Movie

Happier Than Ever is a layered drama that delves into the complexities of a father-son relationship set against the backdrop of a military dictatorship. The atmosphere is heavy with an unspoken tension, as the father struggles with his militant activities while trying to connect with his son, who knows shockingly little about him. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with the characters' discomfort and confusion. It's interesting how it captures that sense of isolation in a luxurious setting, the empty apartment contrasting with the weight of the world outside. Performances are subtle, yet impactful—especially the father's internal conflict, which lingers long after the viewing. It's a rare find, really, and definitely a talk piece in collector circles.
