Another Round
Buy ticketsMads Mikkelsen pushes the blood alcohol limit in Thomas Vinterberg’s irresistible crowd-pleaser about alcohol, masculinity, and the desire to live life to the fullest.
According to Norwegian psychiatrist Finn Skårderud, humans are born with a blood alcohol content that’s 0.5% too low. If people were slightly intoxicated all the time, we wouldn’t be so dull and reserved. This is the theory that four teachers base their wacky social experiment on, which forms the heart of Vinterberg’s sharply observed dramedy. Armed with flasks and breathalyzers, the quartet - especially the depressed Martin (a phenomenal Mads Mikkelsen) - strives to maintain the perfect level of intoxication. Naturally, things don’t go as planned. The thought-provoking and hugely entertaining Another Round won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film and received four major awards from the European Film Academy.
