Summary
In this episode of the Nordic Film Talks podcast, veteran Danish writer and director reveals that he had wanted to create a TV series ever since his 1998 feature Festen, the Dogme film that became his breakout international success. Thomas Vinterbergs Families Like Ours is set in a scarily realistic near-future, and follows one family – teenage daughter Laura, her now-single mom, her dad and his new wife and baby and Laura’s first boyfriend Elias, as they have to choose alliances when the entire nation of Denmark is completely evacuated because of rising water levels. The cast features Amaryllis August, Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Paprika Steen and David Dencik. The series is off to a strong international start after a Venice world premiere. Nordic Film Talks is a podcast offering in-depth interviews with filmmakers and other creatives from the Nordic countries, offering insight into their latest films or TV series. The series is hosted by Nordic film expert Wendy Mitchell, a journalist and film festival consultant, and presented by the Nordisk Film & TV Fond .
