Although hampered somewhat by the inherent predictability of its premise, Another Round is another solid effort from esteemed Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg.
Thomas Vinterberg
One should always try to make the title of their film a reflection of their subject matter, either directly or symbolically. Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg’s semi-autobiographical motion picture The Commune doesn’t do that. Despite the fact that it takes place among member of a commune in swinging mid-1970s Copenhagen, nothing that happens in this lightweight marital drama needs to take place in the titular location at all. The Commune boasts a good idea, and then wastes it on a completely different, less engaging story.
