Another Round
In Thomas Vinterberg’s
toothsome satire, four
teachers — Thomas Bo
Larsen, Mads Mikkelsen,
Lars Ranthe and Magnus
Millang — decide their
lives, broken marriage
and all, would be
improved if they spend
them drunk. The film is
like a time-lapse recordof encroaching human
chaos, as well as being
acidically funny. TSFILMS OF 2021Available to buy or rent
