Deep in the heart of a brittle northern winter, four friends (the Crit Club) decide to attend a Danish 60th birthday party as we watch 1998\\u2019s The Celebration. The first of the famous (infamous?) Dogma95 movies, The Celebration has us descend on a wealthy manor for a patriarch\\u2019s special day and leaves us stranded in stark reality to watch the family\\u2019s dirty laundry fill the whole space with an unforgettable stench. Come and listen to what we thought of this fascinating movie and its place in larger film history.\\xa0

And next week, join us for a Peter PIck (no sound effect found). He\\u2019s picking the 1989 British black comedy How to Get Ahead in Advertising from Bruce Robinson.\\xa0
