| Showings |
After serving fifteen years in prison, bank robber Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is determined to recover the stolen money his brother Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) buried years earlier. There’s just one problem: Manfred, caught in an identity crisis and convinced he is John Lennon, can no longer remember where it is hidden. The brothers set off on an increasingly chaotic hunt for the missing fortune, digging up old family secrets on the way.
After co-starring in six of Jensen’s films together, Kaas and Mikkelsen rely on their hard-earned chemistry to explore all of the small cracks in the relationship without ever devolving into gimmickry.
★★★★
Few directors would be able to juggle genres and navigate shifts in tone as fluidly as Jensen does here. On paper none of it should work… but this unlikely film is consistently entertaining, weird and ultimately touching.
★★★★
