Martin and his three teacher colleagues, who have lost their mojo, decide to test a theory that a slight level of intoxication will increase their social and professional performance. But what is the right level? Thomas Vinterberg's dark comedy has a bold and unusual premise, but I struggle to believe most of the events portrayed on screen. What is the ultimate message of this story, I don't really know. The film doesn't moralise, but it gives mixed signals. While some of the men lose control of their drinking, one of them expands the test to a student with resounding success. The only thing the men are able to prove is that watching drunk people is not funny when you're sober. Academy Award winner for best international feature film.
