What Happened Was... Limited Edition

£17.99

Released: 24th February 2025. Jackie (Karen Sillas) and Michael (Tom Noonan, Manhunter, also writer-director) are co-workers at a New York law firm who, after months of flirtation, agree to meet for a 'first date' at Jackie's apartment. Their initially charged and playful interactions eventually evolve into a long, dark night of the soul, as the two would-be lovers get to know each other properly for the first time, and discover that all may not be as it seems. Winner of the Sundance Festival Jury Prize in 1994, What Happened Was... is a landmark work of American independent cinema anchored around two stunning performances, presenting an often hilarious, often bleak, but always excoriatingly honest exploration of dating in the big city. Radiance is proud to present the film on UK home video for the very first time. "It's wildly heartbreaking and terribly funny. It means the world to me." - Charlie Kaufman "An unsettling glimpse into the feelings that all our faces hide" - Own Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES 4K restoration by Oscilloscope Films Uncompressed stereo PCM audio Interview with director Tom Noonan and producer Scott Macaulay (2021) Interview with star Karen Sillas (2021) New interview about the film with critic Charles Bramesco (2024) Trailer Optional English SDH subtitles Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Filippo Di Battista Limited edition booklet featuring new writing by Adam Nayman Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings Extras subject to change
