Dir.: Thomas Vinterberg | 106 minutes

Festen

Denmark 1998 | 106 minutes | Danish | Hebrew, English subtitles

A bourgeois family assembles to celebrate the 60th birthday of the father, but events from the past are revealed which undermine the family's ideals. Vinterberg fits all of the events into a single claustrophobic location and uses a shoulder-held camera which involves the spectator almost directly in the goings-on.
