What does it really mean to be happy once the excitement of youth has faded? Is adulthood about responsibility, routine and sacrifice—or have many of us simply forgotten how to feel alive? Join us for a Watch & Talk session built around Another Round, the Oscar-winning Danish masterpiece starring Mads Mikkelsen in one of the finest performances of his career. Together, we'll watch carefully selected scenes and explore the film's unforgettable questions about happiness, friendship, purpose and the quiet restlessness that can settle into adult life. No matter whether you've seen the film before or not, the scenes stand beautifully on their own and will spark rich conversations for everyone.
As the story unfolds, we'll also discuss the complicated relationship between alcohol and happiness. Can drinking help people reconnect with joy and confidence, or is it simply another form of escapism? Where is the line between letting go and losing control? Along the way, we'll explore meaning, midlife, responsibility, and the courage it takes to break free from the roles we've built for ourselves. We'll finish by talking about one of cinema's most unforgettable endings, featuring Mads Mikkelsen's breathtaking dance sequence—widely regarded as one of the most exhilarating and emotionally liberating performances ever captured on film. Thought-provoking, funny, moving and surprisingly life-affirming, this is a discussion for anyone who's ever wondered what it means not just to grow older, but to truly live.
Let's sit back with good friends in comfy chairs, and watch scenes from a film that's dark and beautiful, brilliant and ridiculous, unmistakably human and that people are sure to be talking about for decades to come. And, of course, let's have a deep, smart and fun conversation about our mutual cinematic journey!
