Druk (2020)
Druk is another impactful and entertaining piece by thomas vinterberg
As a tribute to the premise of this film. I am reviewing this movie drunk. I have drunk one cup of gin and 3 cups of whiskey, hopefully thats around the 0.5% blood alcohol level that's significant to the point of this film. This film, like many of other Vinterberg's films, is drenched with realism and emotions as he effectively presents a family drama with the comedic premise of a group of goons drinking to the point of 0.5% BAC (blood alcohol content) to see if it betters their "social and professional performance". This film has the most visually appealing cinematography in Vinterberg's filmography (considering that I have only seen the Celebration and the Hunt HAHAHHAH). Everything you love about Vinterberg is present here, the realistic acting, the constant handheld yet effective shot composition present, the awkwardness and the unsettling mood that permeates the concepts that Vinterberg explores. In my interpretation, this film is exploring whether it is good/right to have a form of escapism for one's reality in order to improve one's life as a whole. The commentary on alcoholism is just superficial. This movie is examining inherently flawed characters that have made long-lived mistakes in their lives that have made them miserable, and they are striving for a solution to change it, and questionably rationalize it with the scientific foundation of Skaaderud's theory when it can be easily seen as an excuse to drink alcohol to evade life's challenges and relish an out-of-world sensation only possible with the elusive effects of booze.
While at times the presentation of its message and thematic concern may seem obvious or pandering, it effectively showcases rich characterization from the likes of Mads Mikkelsen and others like Thomas Bo Larsen & Magnus Milang. It also alludes to and showcases everyday conflicts that resonates with pretty much everyone: the sense of inadequateness and the loss of interaction in long term relationships. It may not be as subtle as his other masterpieces, but to me it is a delectable addition to his repertoire. I strongly recommend this to the fans of his work. And if you are not one, you should watch this and then watch the Hunt, so that you would realize what a BEAST this Danish filmmaker is in his own right.
In my drunken stupor, I shall now end my review. Hopefully this review is enough to intrigue you. If not, I shall make another review while sober to attract more attention MUAHAHAHA.
