I'm not sure about "using" a dvd but this film is exceptionally special. As one of the very best examples of the Dogma 95-created Scandanavian movies, I was very pleased to get my hands on it. Apart from this I am grateful to the seller for making it available at such a reasonable rate. It is a gripping, horrifying, jaw-dropping, and brave work.
I am not a dogma 95 enthusiast. I prefare a stable camera. Yet, that movie is a must see.

Astonishing Danish family drama about a wealthy man who invites his family and friends to a slap-up celebration for his 60th birthday. The evening turns into a disaster when one of his sons, making a speech to mark the big event, suddenly reveals a jaw-droppingly shocking family secret.
Festen is an extraordinary film... bearing in mind it was made back in 1998, it is still ahead of its time. The cinematography is creative and beautiful to watch, whilst the story that unfolds is shocking, compelling & completely unpredictable right up until the end. If you are a film lover with a passion for World Cinema at its best then you should have this film in your collection. Although this is not a heart-warming tale by any stretch of the imagination, it is cleverly told, brilliantly acted and very very memorable. In summary an intellectual dark family tale for lovers of World film with a taste for films "off" the predictable Hollywood mainstream menu. Enjoy! Flora Goose :)
