International star Mads Mikkelsen picked up the Best Actor prize at Cannes for what’s become one of the most acclaimed arthouse films of that decade: Thomas Vinterberg’s provocative allegory of mass hysteria, tightly plotted, with an ending to leave you rattled.

Another change of pace for the versatile, Dogme 95 co-founder Thomas Vinterberg (Festen). The freewheeling world of 70s Denmark and the messy dynamics of free love are vividly brought to life here by an impressive ensemble cast. Trine Dyrholm won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlinale.
