    Festen

    FESTEN

    THOMAS VINTERBERG Denmark, 1998

    Arguably portraying one of cinema’s most messed-up families ever, Festen is considered the first film made under the rules of the radical Dogme 95 movement. Thomas Vinterberg’s madcap time-bomb of latent secrets and repressed grudges makes any family dinner seem like a piece of cake.

    THE IDIOTS

    LARS VON TRIER Denmark, 1998

    A controversy stormed, the Dogme 95 movement took center stage, and an angry critic got kicked out of the Cannes screening. When the dust settled, Lars von Trier was left with this poignant, boundary-pushing film, which explores the very price of provocation. Presented here in a new restoration!

    LARS VON TRIER Denmark, 2005

    A difficult yet rewarding film from the equally complex Danish provocateur Lars von Trier! This fiercely polemical, little-seen sequel to Dogville tackles a topic as sensitive as slavery, all the while maintaining its predecessor’s Brechtian premise, anti-American bent, and yes, its brilliance.

    THE KINGDOM

    LARS VON TRIER Denmark, 1994, 1997, 2022

    Director Lars von Trier’s magnum opus, The Kingdom is a TV phenomenon three decades in the making. A compulsively entertaining supernatural mystery, this incomparable blend of workplace comedy, potent melodrama, and nail-biting ghost story pitches science against superstition in unholy conflict.
