This week on your favorite movie podcast we chat about the Danish film, "Another Round," starring Mads Mikkelsen. Martin played by Mads Mikkelsen is the married father of two boys and also a history teacher. Martin joins three of his friends, also teachers at the same School in a sort of social experiment: Drinking while at work, but more specifically maintaining a constant BAC level of .05 % from the minute they wake up in the morning and into the evening right before they go to bed. It is proposed that maintaining a constant BAC level of .05 % will help boost creativity and confidence. 

Personally, my immediate thought is no way is this going to be even remotely true. They are teachers with families AKA others that rely on their every day performance. Just when you think that this every day drinking detail is helping (or hurting) the opposite appears to be true. 

This is an interesting movie that gets the viewer thinking about several aspects of life: work life, home life, everyday life and more specifically how one is in their personal life. Not surprisingly, relationships are affected and some tragedy does occur. This movie is both uplifting and sad. I recommend watching it especially if you are looking for something a little bit different from "the usual." Cheers!
