Kollektivet (The Commune in the english version) is a 2016 Danish drama film. An emotional and intensely focused lead performance from Trine Dyrholm carries this movie from Danish director and Dogme 95 veteran Thomas Vinterberg, shot on HD digital video. The setting is an emotionally fraught commune in 1970s Copenhagen; Dyrholm is Anna, a local television newsreader, married to rumpled and sexy university lecturer Erik, played by Ulrich Thomsen; they have a shy and intelligent 14-year-old daughter, Freja (Martha Sofie Wallstrom Hansen). When Erik inherits his late father’s gigantic family home, Anna suggests they invite various friends and professional acquaintances to move in with them, and so stave off middle-aged, middle-class ennui with a daring experiment in collective living and a stimulating atmosphere of group creativity. But having set off down this bold new route of caring and sharing, Anna is unsure how to react when there is a crisis in her own relationship.It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. At Berlin, Trine Dyrholm won the Silver Bear for Best Actress.
