Speaking to a French outlet, Almodovar revealed he was not impressed by Audrey Diwan’s Golden Lion winning drama “Happening.”: I’ll have to disagree with Almodovar on this one. I found “Happening” to be thoroughly engaging and very perceptive. The “abortion drama” is very much now an arthouse genre in itself, but only a handful of films have truly stuck out; “4 Months, 3 Weeks and Two Days,” “Never Rarely Sometimes Always” and “Vera Drake” are the essentials. You can add “Happening to that shortlist this instance. It’s a small-scaled masterwork. IFC Films and FilmNation recently won the bidding war for the rights to distribute the film in the U.S. Expect a bow at Sundance in January and a first quarter release in 2022. Contribute Hire me
