Dogme 95 w/ The Bong Cinephile | Festen, Idioterne, Julien Donkey-Boy & Open Hearts #058

In this very special episode, Dhruv welcomes returning guest Simon Ezra to talk about a film movement recommended by one of our listeners! We try to make sense of the origin of this Danish film movement, its absurdly strict rules (courtesy Lars Von Trier & Thomas Vinterberg), its flailing reputation, its influences, and some of its most seminal films. Do listen for an in-depth & spoiler-filled discussion on these four films! Also, including Simon's controversial take on HBO's "Succession"! **No Apologies for the background noise in the episode.
