Vinterberg has pressed the autobiograpical button having grown up in such an environment, the tensions soon emerge.
Vinterberg is a master and his camera probing.The acting is superb.

This look back to a time when a new lifestyle appeared possible it is at times nostalgic, but ultimately leads to mental breakdown and disillusion.
Enjoy have a good week.
