Another Round (Druk) · Denmark (2020)
If so many people drink a glass of wine to feel more relaxed on a first date or in a club, would it work the same way before a difficult exam or a work meeting?
In Another Round, four teachers decide to stop wondering and start testing. They attempt to maintain a constant, low level of alcohol in their blood to see if it makes them sharper, more creative, or simply more alive.
It sounds like a reckless experiment, but the film is actually a brilliant, bittersweet look at the mid-life crisis. Mads Mikkelsen is magnetic, showing the gap between who we are and who we once expected to be.
It is delivered with a very Danish kind of honesty—and a final scene you won’t easily forget.
