Event Description

Although it was initially played as a nostalgic, 1970s ensemble comedy, Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration, The Hunt, Far From the Madding Crowd) seems to draw not only from his personal experience of communal living but also his recent divorce and subsequent marriage to a younger woman, for this bittersweet relationship drama.

Architecture lecturer Erik (Ulrich Thomsen) and television newswoman Anna (Trine Dyrholm) appear to be happily married when he inherits a mansion. Anna, wanting more excitement in her life, persuades Erik to keep the house and open it up for communal living. Anyone from mutual friends to random strangers gain access, whether they can share the costs of the mansion or not. As Erik finds he is no longer in control, cracks predictably begin to appear in the marital relationship.

When Erik falls in love with Emma (Helene Reingaard Neuman) and brings her home to stay, Anna gets more than she bargained for and it becomes a classic case of be careful what you wish for.

Commune isn't the story of a social experiment gone wrong. On the contrary, the commune itself seems to thrive, serving as a Greek chorus of sorts for Erik and Anna while Vinterberg reveals a remarkable look at how people, in their own self-interest, turn a blind eye to some very misogynistic behaviour.
