The Celebration

Denmark d/ Thomas Vinterberg

The original dogme 95 film. Hand-held depiction of a family gathering from hell. Terrible, dark secrets emerge, hatred, scorn and contempt reign and the Danish bourgeoisie will never be the same.

Rules...for filmmakers or anyone else...are made to be broken. Establishing yourself as a rebel by making a rigid set of rules governing an art form is an oxymoron which doesn't deserve the attention this has received.

The film was disturbing. The "movement" idiotic.
