A grandiose party to celebrate a sixtieth birthday unleashes a family drama with all the lies that conceal horrendous secrets. The eldest son, Christian, stages a showdown with the popular pater familias; his provocative, moving after-dinner speech dislodges all the masks, which finally fall completely as the father-son conflict intensifies and the bewildered guests look on.

A film that simultaneously makes your blood boil and makes you silently contemplate your reasons for feeling as such. Though occasionally explicit without outright reason (in the tradition of most Dogma 95 films), it stands head and shoulders above most in the manifesto's catalogue by providing complex human analysis to coincide with the rough cinematography.

You know how sometimes you watch something, and it’s kinda perfect in its own way, but you realize it doesn’t entirely hit you in the way it should because another creator has taken the concept and improved & expanded on it by leaps and bounds? If I try to remove that context for myself (although that’s not entirely possible, of course), I think this is outstanding. The dialogue and characters are amazing, the Dogma 95 filmmaking style works really well in this faux documentary context, it’s offensive and chaotic in the best possible way and the entire thing is memorable from beginning to end because it hits so many emotions perfectly. 9/10

Overrated and filled with dogma clichés, this movie could make you believe that the more it's boring, the better it is. Just avoid the pain if you think you're going to watch something raw. It is really just a bad movie pretending it's good.

it was a rebel act against the cinema du papa from the dogma movement, i think Luis Bunuel would've loved that film because there're lots of elements in it similar to his masterpieceThe Exterminating Angel.
