#327 - Director Thomas Vinterberg and James Gray on Another Round

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast we’re featuring a special conversation between filmmakers Thomas Vinterberg and James Gray on Another Round, which was recently nominated for two Academy Awards. In the film, four friends, all teachers at various stages of middle age, are stuck in a rut. Unable to share their passions either at school or at home, they embark on an audacious experiment from an obscure philosopher: to see if a constant level of alcohol in their blood will help them find greater freedom and happiness. At first, they each find a new-found zest, but as the gang pushes their experiment further, issues that have been simmering for years come to a head, and the men are faced with a choice: reckon with their behavior or continue on the same course. Another Round is now playing in theaters and Hulu.
