The Commune

A liberal Copenhagen couple inherits a large house and turns it into a commune. The 1970s idealism feels genuine — the warmth of communal living, the collective meals, the political discussions. Then Erik invites his young girlfriend to move in, and everything begins to collapse. Vinterberg's most personal film, drawn from his own childhood. Trine Dyrholm won Best Actress at Berlin for what is arguably the most demanding performance in her extraordinary career.
