Danish (Druk)
2020 · Directed by Thomas Vinterberg · 117 min
Four friends who teach at the same Danish high school feel their lives have gone flat. Inspired by a half-serious theory about alcohol, they set up a private experiment to see what a steady, measured buzz might do for them. The tone moves between dry comedy and quiet, honest drama.
Why it matters in cinema history
A leading example of post-Dogme Danish cinema, in which a once-rebellious generation of filmmakers turned to warmer, more polished human drama and found a wide international audience.
Watch with intention
Watch how the film keeps two arguments about alcohol open at the same time, so that you never settle on one verdict.
