Brothers
Why this pick

The Hunt
Why this pick
Vinterberg again builds devastating emotional force from naturalistic performances, an intimate provincial setting, and a man’s increasingly isolating encounter with collective judgment.

The Celebration
Why this pick
Its raw, immediate visual style and suffocating family gathering make for another Vinterberg drama about buried trauma forcing its way into the open.
04
The Here After
Why this pick
A restrained Scandinavian drama of return, guilt, and social exclusion, with the same chilly realism and refusal to offer easy emotional release.
05
Oslo, August 31st

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The story of two brothers who lose track of each other after an unstable childhood until they meet up again in prison is the focus of former ‘Dogme’ director Thomas Vinterberg’s film based on a book by Jonas T. Bengtsson, a Danish novelist celebrated for his unflinching realism. The film’s title refers to a method of torture known as ‘submarino’ in which the target’s head is held under water to just before the point of drowning.
