The Celebration (R; subject matter, nudity, sexuality): It's Helge's 60th birthday and some unpleasant family truth's are revealed. This a Danish film done in 1998. This film is done with a hand held camera and no special affects what so ever. The directer felt that too many movies done in Hollywood were fakey and decided to do a movie that was with out frills. All of the props were from the shooting location. Review: Although, the subject matter is dark it is such a wonderful movie and actually gripping at times. Plus, it is kinda nice to see the bad guy get his come unpins.(Danish with English subtitles) *****
From The Otaku Angle: Don't let the use of a hand-held camera fool you, this film uses complex shots and editing to give an intimate and immediate feeling. This Dogma95 film really showcases the strength of a good narrative and great acting. I can't think of any superfluous aspects of the film. Even the sex scene is integral to the development of characters--a rarity in any film.
