(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 20 - In human chemistry there would be an unnatural defect, that is the absence in the blood of an alcohol percentage of 0.5 which would make the human race truly perfect.
UN ALTRO GIRO is born on this suggestive theory of the Norwegian psychologist Finn Skårderud, a provocative and problematic film by Thomas Vinterberg that passes to the Rome Film Festival and will then be in the hall with Movies Inspired.
Audience Award at the London Film Festival and in the shortlist of Oscar nominated works, ANOTHER ROUND (this is the original title), explains the director in Rome, but without too much conviction, "it's not at all an apology for alcohol. some young people who have seen the film and all have said that they do not consider it provocative. It is rather - he concludes - a work on life that asks many questions ".
What does the film tell?
Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and three of his friends, all bored middle-aged teachers, backed by Finn Skårderud's theory, embark on an experiment to maintain a constant level of drunkenness throughout the working day.
The fact is that the first results are really positive.
Their classes and themselves continue to improve and everyone feels more alive.
Soon some of the participants in the experiment have further improvements while others go off the rails.
It becomes clearer and clearer that although alcohol may have fueled great achievements in world history, some hazards carry serious consequences.
