Picturehouse Entertainment has dropped a brand new UK poster and trailer for Happening, the Venice Golden Lion-winning film set for cinema screens here in April. The film is directed by French film-maker Audrey Diwan (Losing It) and stars Anamaria Vartolomei.
Happening is set in France in 1963 and tells the story of Anne, a bright young student with a promising future ahead of her. But when she falls pregnant, she sees the opportunity to finish her studies and escape the constraints of her social background disappearing. With her final exams fast approaching and her belly growing, Anne resolves to act, even if she has to confront shame and pain, even if she must risk prison to do so…
The film is nominated for Best Director for Diwan at this coming weekend’s BAFTAs and will land on cinemas screens from 22nd April.
Here’s the new trailer.
