Frome Film Club is showing its next film, Happy End (Cert 15), on Wednesday 14th November at 8pm at the Merlin Theatre.
The affluent Laurent family live in an haute-bourgeois bubble in Calais, all under the same (albeit palatial) roof, oblivious to the migrant crisis unfolding a few miles from their home; patriarch George, succumbing to dementia, workaholic daughter Anne (Isabelle Huppert) who now runs the family construction business, and womanising doctor son Pierre, his new wife Anais and their baby. A black comedy portrait of family dysfunction and an unforgiving and gripping satire on the moral failings of polite society.

Non-member tickets are available for £6.50 each from the Merlin Theatre box office on the night or can be pre-booked with the Merlin.
