Great video dude! A true masterpiece and one of my favorite films of all time! To me, the tragic and shocking truth this film conveys in regards to sexual abuse, is that your family members and friends will do anything to maintain the angelic image of the abuser they might have. I’ve seen this happen in real life so many times where the victim is completely shunned and kicked to the curb because people would rather not have the image of their idolized figure to be tainted by something as disgusting as sexual abuse. It’s tragic that the family and friends are only convinced by the suicide note and not their siblings living words. It’s a film that’s able to represent these tragic truths about humanity but at the same time have an encouraging and hopeful attitude for the silenced victims of abuse.
It totally captures that feeling of resentment. I agree, it tackles those feelings very well. Each Vinterberg film I’ve seen is a near 10/10. He really knows how to tell an emotionally charged story.
Just watched it last night and was completely blown away at the sheer magnitude of so many themes concepts and characters that interplay all at one birthday party. I maybe late to all this but I would love to see more dogme 95 videos especially one on Julian donkey boy

I had heard so much about this I finally checked it out on the criterion channel. Glad I did, although I expected Christian to go nuts and lock all the guests in the house and set it on fire. I’m still questioning why they took the keys away
@@BillGriff1 Vinterbergs debut was 'The boy who walked backwards' (Drengen der gik baglæns) from 1994. A fantastic movie about a young boy who looses his big brother in a car accident and tries to turn back time by walking backwards.
Re-uploaded cause one clip was one second too long. Ya hate to see it :(

Just came across your video. Excellent review. This film absolutely blew me away on my first watch. Keep up the excellent work my friend.
What a brilliant film. Thank you for reminding me to check back in on it. Insightful video.
This movie is a freaking masterpiece. I also found it quite hilarious, even though it’s so serious😅
Vildt hvordan en film uden en uden musik og begrænset klipning kan holde én investeret igennem hele filmen
@@gabbagh00l Helt klart. Kedede mig i hvert fald ikke i et eneste øjeblik i hele filmen - og det er ret sjældent, det sker for mit vedkommende.

This video is super good man. You were really on to something and If you keep this level of analysis up, you will explode in viewership

s u b t i t l e s
I’m Danish and love you’re videos and thanks for making this one. But Festen is not his debut film, “De største helt” (The biggest hero) is
I noticed that in post and added the correction in the description. Thank you for pointing that out, and thank you for enjoying the videos!
@@BillGriff1 That’s super. Would love to see more videos about DOGMA95. The movement means a lot to me, and I would say the Idiots is the best of them
