Can anyone else recommend.......


A drama that is disturbing like this that doesn't put heavy focus on the situation of one or two characters, but rather details a situation shared by many without getting too sloppy?

Hi, this is more of a comedy but I think it may interest you. It's called "It's A disaster" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1995341/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Oh I just thought of another one and this one isn't a comedy lol: Loft http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926762/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

I assume you have found THE HUNT. And then some of Susanne Brier films..like AFTER THE WEDDING . Both quite good...I suppose not really like Festen....but some smaller family issues/topics.

This film reminded me a lot of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). Dysfunctional rich family, dark and light comedy, suicide, exaggerated characters, etc.

I thought that "Margo at the Wedding" was sort of like a tame Festen.

Not half bad. Jack Black is in it in a departure from his usual schtick.
