One must celebrate when one has the chance

Whether it's a wedding, birthday or public holiday - festivities provide an ideal setting in films to focus on the complexity of human relationships. They bring together joy, conflict, surprises, chaos and human weaknesses in a small microcosm. Sally Potter's “The Party” exposes in a bitingly ironic manner how an intimate celebration gets completely out of hand. The French comedy “C'est la vie” turns a wedding into a chaotic spectacle, while Miloš Forman's “The Firemen's Ball” satirically wraps bureaucracy and human failure in a grandiose failed ball night. Wishing you the most festive movie nights possible!
