Thomas VinterbergDenmark2010★★★★½

Two brothers who, as children, were left to care for their baby brother while their mother drank. The baby died. Years later, one is out of prison and trying to function; the other is a single father whose drug habit is spiraling out of control. Vinterberg's bleakest film — an unflinching study in generational damage, in how the failures of one generation are inherited as wounds by the next. Shot with the same handheld urgency as The Celebration but stripped of any hope. Won the Nordic Council Film Prize.
