	Review: The Celebration (1998)
		In 1995 Vinterberg allied himself with a group of directors in Copenhagen, starting a movement named 'Dogme 95,' the tenets of which promote a pure 'cinema of the moment.' Accordingly, 'The Celebration' is shot on location, with no makeup, no dubbed sound, no fixed cameras, and virtually no 'brought in' props.
		(Vinterberg published a 'confession' in which he admits covering one window with a fl drape to alter the light in one scene; he also approved the construction of a hotel reception desk, though the materials were found on site.) The product of Vinterberg's vision is shot through with a fascinating, naturalistic nervousness.
		Vinterberg opens another of the Klingenfeldt family's veins when Helene's boyfriend pulls up to the party in a taxi.

	Willamette Week\| Screen Review
		Vinterberg cuts to the quick with hand-held cameras, natural sound and lighting, and actors wearing their own clothes.
		It is here that Vinterberg's plot and his cinematic mission meld most seamlessly: in squeezing the truth out of a deeply deceitful institution, be it Danish society or the film industry.
		Likewise, when Vinterberg dispenses with background music and dubious action sequences, it leaves him and his actors free to nail the finer points of pacing and tension.

		Vinterberg: I have learned a hell of a lot about handguns, and Lars is right when he says that it is an amazing instrument, which it can be fascinating to study.

	Xiibaro Reviews: It's All About Love
		Thomas Vinterberg made the best of the Dogme films with his 1998 masterpiece The Celebration.
		Now, Vinterberg has been working on a series of DIY movies called D-Dag, preparing scripts with von Trier for their next production (Vinterberg will direct von Trier’s screenplay for Dear Wendy) and leaving the fans of his work excited for the possibility of a new film.
		Vinterberg, hopefully, just needed something to expel all this inner novice that wasn’t seen in The Celebration (however, reports on his first film, The Biggest Heroes, aren’t that pleasing either).

		Thomas Vinterberg wrote the script together with his former tutor at the National Film School of Denmark, Mogens Rukov, who also helped to create The Celebration.
		Vinterberg's strategy is to put the knife to his character's throats, forcing them to let go of common sense and begin living life.
		Thomas Vinterberg seems to be somebody with a huge amount of surplus resources, but in interviews he talks time and time again of his doubt and uncertainty, about his fear of not fulfilling the enormous expectations made of him since he got into the National Film School of Denmark at the age of 21.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - My review of Thomas Vinterberg's "It's All About Love"
		This is Thomas Vinterberg's first English/American movie, and his first since his break-through with Festen (The Celebration).
		In Vinterberg's vision of the near future, everything's cold, people are dying from loneliness, Ugandans are flying (!), it's snowing in July, water freezes to ice in matters of seconds and nobody seems to care.
		Vinterberg tells us as little as possibly, we have to guess a lot - and that is both the movie's strength and its weakness.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Maybe this is because Vinterberg has a better story to tell--a set of strategically planted and finely calibrated revelations about a family's dark secrets during a weekend gathering at a country mansion occasioned by the father's 60th birthday.
		Vinterberg frames and edits it with such eccentric yet logical abandon--cutting to sudden overhead shots, crosscutting between as many as three simultaneously unfolding scenes, and jump-cutting at regular intervals--that he counteracts the continuity of the plot with as much discontinuity as he can without losing the threads of the action.
		However, it's surely a form of coquetry for Vinterberg to leave his name off the credits when he knows we'll know it anyway, and it's a similarly ironic subterfuge to use the dubious principles of Dogme 95 as a means to discipline his artistic choices as well as liberate them.

	Festen
		Festen is the first film produced under the banner of "Dogma 95", a quasi-radical aestheticist club that was formed by Vinterberg, Lars Von Trier (The Kingdom, Breaking the Waves, Idiotern), together with a group of Danish directors three years ago.
		Tension peaks are actually all the more unexpected and efficient since Vinterberg paradoxically resorts to no specific artifices to introduce them and since the cast's interpretation remains sober all along the film.
		The conclusion of the film is a bit weak compared to the rest but Vinterberg is still to be praised for both his undeniable directing skills and his creative insolence.

		He and Thomas had spent quite a bit of time in development of this film and they had decided on a very specific kind of look that they wanted for this film and that HD digital video was the way that they were going to achieve that look.

	Foul Play: Thomas Vinterberg's "Dear Wendy"
		Like Leth, Vinterberg is a willing foil (and to some degree, tool), and in discussing the film in Moscow he used the von Triers–ian term "experiment" about as often as he soft-shoed around questions of race and anti-Americanism.
		Thomas Vinterberg knows how to talk out of both sides of his mouth.
		It's a testament to Vinterberg's direction that he manages both to vividly dramatize what must on the page read as bone-dry allegory and humanize von Trier's typically cartoonish participants.

		Vinterberg and friend Lars Von Trier (Breaking the Waves, The Idiots) received attention at Cannes last spring in part because of their filmmaking manifesto, Dogma 95, and the "Vow of Chastity" they signed with two other Danish directors.
		Both documents are a response to what they consider the overuse of new technologies in contemporary moviemaking, from special effects to post-dubbed sound, as they distract from the exploration and development of the characters.
