Después de la boda

Danish director Susanne Bier has a knack for making melodramatic contrivances seem like slices of life.

...could be the cinematic equivalent of a Coldplay song.

For years Bier has been scooping up international awards by the barrelful for her films about adultery, paralysis, and mental impairment (...), and her latest, 'After the Wedding', is another triumph of repressed despair.
