Another Round (2020)

Another Round (2020), originally titled “Druk”, is a Danish film directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Mads Mikkelsen. The film explores themes of self-discovery, existentialism, and the impact of alcohol on personal and social life. It won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film and received widespread critical acclaim.
The film follows four high school teachers—Martin (Mads Mikkelsen), Tommy (Thomas Bo Larsen), Peter (Lars Ranthe), and Nikolaj (Magnus Millang)—who are dissatisfied with their lives and careers. They come across a theory that suggests maintaining a constant level of alcohol in the blood can enhance creativity, improve their personal lives, and make them happier. They decide to test this theory by regularly consuming alcohol throughout their daily lives.
As they experiment with this approach, they initially experience positive changes, including improved mood and creativity. However, as they push the limits of their alcohol consumption, they encounter unexpected consequences, both personally and professionally, leading to a series of dramatic and sometimes tragic events.
