On the occasion of Halloween, the HAU Movie Club presents one of the most iconic psychological thrillers in American cinema and invites you to a special evening featuring the classic film “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”
Set in an isolated house and centered around two sisters who share a troubled past, Robert Aldrich’s film explores the boundaries between love and rivalry, dependence and power through an atmosphere of claustrophobic tension and dark humor. The film, which went down in history for the captivating performances of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, is an atmospheric work that combines psychological drama with horror and remains, more than six decades after its release, a landmark of the genre.
The film received five Academy Award nominations, earning Bette Davis one of the most chilling and memorable performances of her career.
