Programmer's Pick

If your taste runs to Danish decadence and the wild side of early-'60s youth culture, this one's got you covered—nudity, booze, and bad decisions abound. Poul Nyrup doesn’t flinch from the messiness of post-prison reintegration or the lubricated chaos of a group with nothing to lose.
