A most brilliant tale of family tragedy and revenge. As the patriarch of a rich Danish family celebrates a big birthday, his son salutes his father in a toast like you have never heard before. A more stunning piece of writing, directing and acting you will not find. Dogma or no dogma, pictures and sound play a minor role in this brutal timeless drama.
