Following its Oscar win, 'Another Round' added more awards to the long list at this year's Bodil Awards, held by the association of Danish Film Critics on 10 May.

The talent prize went to Malou Reymann for her debut feature 'A Perfectly Normal Family', which also won an award at Rotterdam Film Festival last year. The film's 13-year-old star, Kaya Toft Loholt, was named best actress for her part in the film, making her the youngest recipient of a Bodil Award ever.

Another Round

Thomas Vinterberg, 2020

There’s a theory that we should be born with a small amount of alcohol in our blood, and that modest inebriation opens our minds to the world around us, diminishing our problems and increasing our creativity. Heartened by that theory, Martin and three of his friends, all weary high school teachers, embark on an experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday. If Churchill won WW2 in a heavy daze of alcohol, who knows what a few drops might do for them and their students?

A Perfectly Normal Family

Wildland

Mira Jargil, 2019
