Another Round (12A)

About

Winner of Best International Film at this year's Oscars, this intoxicating black comedy plays like a coming-of-age tale in reverse, as four middle aged teachers deal with their collective mid-life crisis by putting a questionable academic theory to the test: Maintaining a blood alcohol level of around 5% will increase productivity and improve well-being and happiness. Early results hint that they might be on to something, but things soon begin to get out of hand. Featuring a knockout central performance from Mads Mikkelsen and exhilarating direction from Thomas Vinterberg (who was also nominated for a Best Director Oscar), Another Round is a heady cocktail that hits the spot. Needless to say, the bar will be open before the screening…
