Content: THE CELEBRATION is in the honour of the head of the family. His 60th birthday is to be celebrated with friends and relatives, and of course his wife and grown-up children. But one of his sons turns up without actually being invited, and one of his daughters has a valid reason for not attending: She committed suicide a couple of months age...A film about a father's iron will and the prodigan son, the presence of death and the absence of living, blood ties and being thy brother's keeper, about love, jealousy and the icy charm of the bourgeoisie, THE CELEBRATION is hailed by the New York Times as a virtuoso feat which succeeds dizzyingly well in making the film a party to remember.
