I went into this movie not really knowing what to expect. We didn’t even refer to it by its English title, Another Round—my French girlfriend had introduced it to me simply as Druk, which I now understand translates roughly to “binge drinking.”
What surprised me is that the film doesn’t treat alcohol as an uncomplicated evil. For much of its runtime, it feels almost like a celebration of drinking—or, more precisely, of what drinking can unlock. Its real call to action may be that you shouldn’t necessarily drink more, but perhaps you should try to live as though you already had.
