This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes pour one out for "Another Round" (2020), the Danish drama-comedy that deserved far more attention than it got.
Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this film; the performances are excellent across the board, especially from Mads Mikkelsen, who delivers one of his most emotionally layered roles. The film walks a tricky tonal tightrope, balancing humor, melancholy, and hard truths about addiction, midlife crisis, and the search for meaning.
The Mikes discuss how the movie’s message lands gracefully without preaching, and how its final stretch (especially that unforgettable dance scene) cements it as something special. They also talk about why the film slipped under the radar for so many viewers: despite awards recognition, Another Round launched as a foreign-language release during the pandemic, which sadly, severely limited its reach.
A smart, moving, beautifully acted film that more people should see.
