Time for Another Round
Beaufort Film Night returns for another screening which will take place at The Inn Between Bar, Beaufort, on Saturday (February 18) at 8.30pm.
Danish comedy-drama 'Another Round' is the feature on the night. It stars Mads Mikkelsen, an actor well-known to international audiences from his Bond villain role in Casino Royale to his appearance in the current Carlsberg ads.
Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and his three teacher friends all seem to have hit a middle-age rut in their lives. When one of the group tells the others about an obscure philosophy proposing that humans aren’t born with enough alcohol in their blood and so cannot reach their full potential, the men decide to test the theory for themselves.
As each of the gang initially observes positive benefits from maintaining the required blood-alcohol level of 0.05%, it is not long before they decide to push the boundaries of their experiment.
This entertaining but ultimately thought-provoking comedy-drama explores friendship, masculinity and what it means to be happy. The film won the Best International Feature Film Oscar as well as Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director at the European Film Awards.
Beaufort Film Night is a non-profit community organisation founded by local film enthusiasts whose aim is to screen cultural English language and international language films, fostering an interest in and appreciation of these category of films, films that normally don’t get a general release screening in Kerry. Films screened at Beaufort Film Night are carefully curated in order to appeal to a general audience. Beaufort Film Night is working in conjunction with Access Cinema, the Arts Council funded organisation which assists film clubs and film nights in Ireland with their screenings.
Beaufort Film Night would like to thank The Inn Between Bar for providing a venue for this cultural and entertainment opportunity. Admission to the film is €7 which will go towards covering the motion picture licence fee. Another Round has a 12A Certificate. Further information can be viewed on Beaufort Film Night’s Facebook page (BeaufortFilmNight) and Twitter page (@Beaufort_Film).
