I somehow think you need to be Scandinavian to understand this film truly. The way we can be so eerily good at ignoring horrible things right in front of us, just keeping up the appearences at all costs. The countless fests (dinner parties) like this I've been to, where this exact situation could happen, but without any of the self-awareness.
I grew up with a brutal monster (not sexual) and the entire fucking family has successfully avoided the topic to the point where I became so disgusted I no longer wish to see any of them again. (American)
Interesting that he thought he'd failed. I think every filmmaker/author goes through that. You live with this thing in your head so long and have such high goals for it that once it's a tangible, finished thing you feel it's fallen short of this epic image you had in your head.
The screenplay is so solid it would have been good without the arbitrary rules he imposed on it. However, the experiment was worth whatever was lost by that. And that's why Dogma 95 is basically dead but informed a new generation of filmmakers that learned what worked and what did not.
@@blackwomangamer2637 I GUESS U ARE RETARD . dogme is inspire from cassavetes. Cassavettes use his own house own clothes whe he filmed the movies. he began with all the dogme experience before it was called dogme. and you are just showing all people here the lack of respect you have to human kind by calling people " retard". Cassavetes filmed ON LOCATION. the camera was HAND helded. Cassavetes didn´t use FILTERS all these Cassavetes did before THE DOGME ripp off from Casavettes.
That film was a huge disappointment for me. All of dogma principles just seem so pretentious to me and I didn't enjoy watching Festen at all, I just don't buy it. Incredibly overhyped.
@@fabbblas oh so I'm not allowed to like other movies? But I'll give you my reasons (even though I already did that). The story is not bad, it's actually interesting but the way it's delivered is something I cannot accept and understand. I got tired watching it, it was annoying watching a movie shot like it was recorded by an amateur to upload on youtube. I'm sorry but I just don't buy it and, like I said, it's extremely pretentious to me. Like I also said, I didn't enjoy it at all, and "A truly good movie is enjoyable too".
Saw this movie on its opening night in Los Angeles in West LA. I will never forget that night. To me....possibly one of the greatest movies ever made.
I could listen to this guy talk about filmmaking for days!

The Celebration is a beyond-remarkable quintessential Dogma masterpiece, nothing but nothing compares to its unapologetic, thrusting impact.

It's not just a Scandinavian thing. Believe me when I say Americans are kings at believing what they want to believe.

Believe it or not - this is a universal rejection and plastering style
I don't need to be Scandinavian to understand. The film is universal.
Latin American here and this happens everywhere

This director is genius...the film is a masterpiece... stunning!
well i guess u are a newbie... watch John Cassavettes movies the father of the dogme 95 movies... Winterberg just ripped of his style
@@angc1456 John Cassavettes didnt invent dogme, he didnt have anything else back then retard xd

@@blackwomangamer2637 i know he didn´t invent dogme . Von trier ´got inspired by Cassavetes. so Cassavetes is the " father of dogme "
He Looks like the brother of Hugues Grant ! Brilliant moovie btw, on a very serious taboo.
Danish cinematography has a lot to offer..
Who's Hugues Grant? Hugh Grant's Spanish brother? 😂
Love this film! Amazing hamletian reimagination!
One of finest films 🎥 I ever saw 👀 ❤💞 ...timeless film ...Rembrandt would be proud 👏 ...like finest French wine 🍷...ages well
genius
that drunk is fucking gold
such a beautiful film
Wait, isn't he the taxi driver who gets gbatokai to the house?
It was his own little rebellion against his own Dogme 95 rules, that he could not be credited as the director of the movie.
gbatokai..... hahhahahahahahah
@@akyhne how was it a rebellion? He still didn’t get credited as the director right? But doing a cameo isn’t something forbidden by the Dogme
@@geoffroyclop Well, he both credited on sites like IMDB as "Taxi driver (uncredited)", and "Director (uncredited)".
Well he knows he made a masterpiece
He looks like Noel Gallagher
Plus Dogme 95 sounds like the 95 Theses so that's cool
1998*
6:55 Nihilist millenial humor would make it age like fine wine
No they are other movies without music before you, La Traque Serge

True. But the film is oddly more accessible than Cassvettes’ films.
@@opctpos. yes MAYBE more main stream? cassavettes movies are like fresh air :)
@@angc1456 cassavettes Is shit cope more

You don't know what you are talking about
So sad you didn't understand it.
@@Wings_of_foam nothing sad about it. I just think it's not a good moovie.
Why? tell us your reasons. Even if it's enough that you like joker.
