Happy Endings

Episode 8 of 10

Author and film critic David Thomson explores how cinema has changed him - and us: happiness on the big screen. From 2011.

Escaping into the world of flickering dreams, finding happiness over the rainbow, and realizing that everything is going to be all right in the end is one of cinema's most powerful allures. But is the chase more appealing than the pay off?

Critic and writer David Thomson goes in search of happiness on the big screen in his personal history of cinema.

Producer: Mark Burman.

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in January 2011.
