The Celebration (Festen)Denmark 1998 | Thomas Vinterberg | vostFR EN | 105’ | 35 mm | Cast: Ulrich Thomsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Paprika Steen, Trine Dyrholm, Henning MoritzenWhen a Danish patriarch turns 60, his large family gathers at a castle to celebrate. Everyone likes and respects him deeply—or do they?« This cinematic gem is so close to its characters that one gets the guilty sensation of not only seeing their thoughts but also their sins. A masterpiece that redefined how brutal honesty and toxic family dynamics can be portrayed on the big screen, inspiring me to become a filmmaker. »(Gintare Parulyte)« Respecting the strict rules of the Dogme 95 collective, Thomas Vinterberg's Celebration is a virtuoso feat despite its rejection of directorial egotism. »(The New York Times).
