Along with rabble-rouser Lars von Trier, Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg was at the forefront of the influential Dogme 95 movement, an austere cinematic experiment which eschewed not only special effects and technology, but also a lot of other modern conventions. Since then he’s branched out and made different types of movies; his latest is the well received The Hunt, starring Mads Mikkelsen as a day care teacher wrongly accused of child sexual abuse. I recently had a chance to speak to Vinterberg one-on-one, about his hippie commune upbringing (“I grew up in the 1970s in a hippie commune and was surrounded by genitals, and it was kind of not a problem for anyone”), his new film and its in-competition premiere at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, what he now thinks about Dogme 95, and what’s next for him professionally.
