The Celebration (1998)

In this charged drama, a lavish sixtieth birthday celebration becomes the backdrop for a family's unraveling. The eldest son, Christian, decides to confront his revered father, unleashing a torrent of long-concealed secrets during an after-dinner speech. The film, a pioneer of the Dogme 95 movement by directors Vinterberg and Lars von Trier, strips away cinematic artifice to reveal the raw intensity of familial conflict.
