'Festen' is definitely a highly recommended film from me.
It's the first film made with the danish Dogme rules and is a film that really captures great danish cinema - dark, fun and fantastic filmmaking (even considering the dogme rules in this film). You should search for the 7th Hall of Fame thread, I nominated it there. On the first page, first post, I made a short little write-up about it - no spoilers of course.
But that's all you should read about it. Apart from that there's only to say one thing: just watch it.
