Co-authored the Dogme 95 manifesto; directed Festen, The Hunt, and the Oscar-winning Another Round (Best International Feature, 2021).

Three enthusiastic DeBaser reviews trace Thomas Vinterberg from Festen’s Dogme 95 shock to the moral crucible of The Hunt and the bittersweet highs of Another Round. Themes include social hypocrisy, suspicion, and alcohol-fueled escape, with Mads Mikkelsen’s performances singled out. Another Round’s Oscar win underscores Vinterberg’s global standing.
