ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
Thomas Vinterberg is not an easy filmmaker to pin down. In English, he's leapt from science fiction to the costume drama "Far From The Madding Crowd." In his native Denmark, he tends to make intensely intimate films, like his Oscar nominee 1 "The Hunt." Critic Bob Mondello says Vinterberg's new film is his most personal. It's called "The Commune."
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE 2: When Erik inherits his father's house in Copenhagen, his first instinct is to sell. It's huge, he tells his wife, Anna, way too expensive to maintain on a professor's salary. But it's the 1970s, and Anna has what was back then a trendy thought. Invite some friends, his buddy 3 Ole, for example...
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
ULRICH THOMSEN: (As Erik, speaking Danish).
TRINE DYRHOLM: (As Anna, speaking Danish).
THOMSEN: (As Erik) Ole.
DYRHOLM: (As Anna) Ja.
MONDELLO: ...To live with them and share costs.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
THOMSEN: (As Erik, speaking Danish).
DYRHOLM: (As Anna, speaking Danish).
MONDELLO: Come on, old man, it'll be fun. Their daughter Freja agrees, and suddenly Erik is interviewing friends - first Ole, who has no job and can't pay.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
THOMSEN: (As Erik, speaking Danish).
LARS RANTHE: (As Ole, laughter).
MONDELLO: Then a couple who can pay but are rules freaks and have a 6-year-old with a heart condition.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As character, speaking Danish).
MONDELLO: "I'm going to die when I turn 9," he tells 14-year-old Freja with a soulful look. It is, they all agree, quite a come-on. Then there's a friend who's a laugh riot and a little nuts.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #2: (As character, laughter).
MONDELLO: And a stranger who bursts into tears when they ask him about money.

FARES FARES: (As Allon, crying).
MONDELLO: What could possibly go wrong, right? Anyone who's ever lived in a group house will have an inkling. Filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg lived in a commune from the age of 7 until he was 19, a time when he remembers being, quote, "surrounded by beer, genitals and high-level academic discussions," which is more or less what he serves up in the movie, plus the occasional dramatic development, as when Erik, the master of the house, embarks 4 on an affair with a student, blonde like his wife Anna but a generation younger, then proposes that she move in...
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: (As character) Hello.
MONDELLO: ...With their many housemates. You see in Anna's eyes that her idealism is being tested. This living arrangement was her idea, remember. But she rises to the occasion.
(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE COMMUNE")
DYRHOLM: (As Anna) Hi.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTRESS: (As character) Hi.
DYRHOLM: (As Anna) Hi. (Speaking Danish).
MONDELLO: The notion that the family that matters is the family you choose is fashionable in movies at the moment. The characters in "Guardians 5 Of The Galaxy 6 Vol. 2" and "Fate Of The Furious" talk endlessly and sentimentally 7 about the family units they're creating.
Vinterberg is more clear-eyed in "The Commune," with actors who are capable of bringing nuance 8 to notions of what makes for a family of choice, a family gathered and nurtured 9 in adulthood 10. Having lived through the process himself, the filmmaker knows the pitfalls 11. Still, his upbringing gave him insights into character and behavior and group dynamics 12 in stressful situations, and those insights arguably have stood him in good stead for the communal 13 task of filmmaking. I'm Bob Mondello.
