Danish newcomer Thomas Vinterberg's funny, volatile, visually dynamic story is about the unraveling of one extended family during the course of a patriarchal 60th-birthday celebration. It's at dinner for dear old Dad (Henning Moritzen) that one of his sons (Ulrich Thomsen) decides to confront the guest of honor about the long-ago incest that contributed to the recent suicide of his twin sister. Vinterberg remains foxily in charge of the mayhem -- for which The Celebration won a jury prize this year at Cannes.
