Borderlines Film Festival 2026

Running Time: 1hr 56mins

Director: Anders Thomas Jensen

Cast: Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Sofie Gråbøl

Hidden loot, a deadpan comic turn from Mads Mikkelsen, a creepy house in the woods and some oddball characters come together in this black Danish crime comedy.

Released from a 15-year jail sentence, bank robber Anker must unlock his traumatised brother’s memory in order to recover the spoils from his big heist. The trouble is that Manfred (Mikkelsen with a very bad perm) is suffering from dissociative identity disorder and now thinks he is John Lennon.

Known for his blackly comic, absurdly violent tales, director Jensen incorporates flashbacks to the brothers’ difficult childhood, and, throwing in new ingredients at every turn, maintains a fast, furious, often funny pace throughout.
