The Last Viking

1 hr. 50 min. | Drama, Crime, Comedy | Pegi 13

After serving 15 years in prison for a bank robbery, Anker is finally released. The money was hidden at the time by his brother Manfred, who now suffers from dissociative identity disorder, remembers nothing, and insists on being called John. The brothers set off to search for the buried loot, but along the way are forced to confront both their old and new identities. The inseparable Danish duo Anders Thomas Jensen and Mads Mikkelsen presented their latest comedy – full of Jensen’s trademark endearing and eccentric oddballs – at the Venice Film Festival, a sharp blend of Scandinavian humor and heartfelt reflection.
