I saw The Happy Film screening in New York this week and really enjoyed the film. It didn't make me happier but it's nice to know that nobody really has this stuff figured out.
It is an in depth narrative into an incredibly talented graphic designer's life, which is dark at times and interesting all at once. There is an honesty and vulnerability that keeps you connected while you weave through beautiful designs that spell out Stefan's life lessons.
The overall thread in the story is his happiness experiments where he looks to try to find his own happiness. The tests are so strange that you can't help but wonder what is going to happen.
The narrative which started as a 'graphic design experiment' is very personal with a great balance of sad and hilarious moments as you get the know this funny tall man very well in this movie.
I still can't get it out of my head as it left me with a lot of questions regarding my own happiness and where that comes from. So if you're looking for some laughs, inspiration, some intrigue and some personal reflection - I highly recommend.
