MADS MIKKELSEN ON ANOTHER ROUND: «We didn’t know what to expect. We believed we had a film that was worth watching. Then there was the reaction to the theme of four high-school teachers who were not just experimenting with their drinking while they worked but also to some degree inspiring some of the younger people to do the same! That could get some backlash, we thought. Then we watched the film in the middle of summer and we looked at each other and we were said ‘Oh my God, are we allowed to do this?’ because it was full of people kissing each other and hugging and drinking from the same bottle. It was full of the life we remembered from half a year ago. But we had already reached a point where we were not used to doing anything – almost not used to looking at each other’s eyes – so that was a scary thing for us. It was really fast and we thought we might get some backlash for that as well, but the opposite happened. People saw it for what it is: a life-embracing film. I think they have been craving it during the lockdown. The last thing they want to see was a film about Covid 19! They wanted to see a film about life». [x] -- source link
