Dear all,

I am looking for films with a happy ending that is deceptive, e.g., it can be
read as illusionary while the "real" ending is less happy.

Examples: "Les Amants de Pont Neuf" and "Will it snow for christmas?"
Both endings can be interpreted as the protagonists commiting suicide, and the
images might be what goes on in their head at the moment of death (a
la "Incidence at owl creek's bridge".

Any other examples?
