“Stupid, Danish and wildly free-jazz funny” — that’s the headline when Aftonbladet reviews Anders Thomas Jensen’s latest film The Last Viking. With Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Mads Mikkelsen and Sofie Gråbøl in the leading roles, Jensen serves up a dark comedy featuring stolen money, a fake John Lennon and a generous dose of absurd humour.
With films such as Flickering Lights, Riders of Justice and Men & Chickens, Anders Thomas Jensen has established himself as one of Denmark’s foremost cinematic storytellers.
Now Stockholms Auktionsverk Helsingborg offers the opportunity to step behind the scenes — or perhaps more accurately, straight into the film’s universe — and take a piece of it home. In a themed sale comprising 51 lots, furniture, lighting and a wide range of interior objects from The Last Viking are presented. Among them are the hand-cranked organ case “Model de luxe”, the pine log chair, and Tori Hermansson’s distinctly 1970s wall hanging in all the decade’s unmistakable colours. If you’re looking for a true conversation piece, this is the moment.
