Commune, The (15)

Drama, Family

A story about the clash between personal desires vs. solidarity and tolerance in a Danish commune in the 70's.

Danish director Thomas Vinterberg serves up a darkly comic look at life in a modern commune.

As so often in his work, Vinterberg invokes the spirit of Ingmar Bergman.

The Danish film-maker returns to home soil for a soapy character study that is elevated by a magnetic central performance from Trine Dyrholm.

Director Thomas Vinterberg has fashioned elements of his own childhood into a sentimental melodrama that might make a decent TV series.

A couple’s experiment with group living backfires in Thomas Vinterberg’s beautifully acted but heavy-handed drama.

General release. Check local listings for show times.
