The Celebration (1998), Thomas Vinterberg

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154420/

****


A very good movie from the Dogma-collective. This is about dysfunctional family as well,
as a certain family gather around for their dad's 60'th. Everything goes wrong after the big secret gets discovered. One of the best family dramas I've seen and the dogma style makes it even more realistic and ripping-your-heart-to-pieces stuff. I'ts been ages since I've seen this, but I've written somewhere that this should be included to the desert island movie collection. Will contribute more on this when I've watched this again. If you're into dogma and great drama, this is something to be noted. Hell, it's to be noted regardless what you like, it's so good!

  1. wow, this sounds right up my alley! you know, I've just realized I don't think I've ever watched an actual Dogma film. Like, all the von Trier's I've seen are either pre or post-Dogma.

    oh, and what a coincidence! I had a Danish family drama lined up for today too! but now I'm saving it for next week :).
