Richmond Film Society - Screening of ‘The Last Viking’ (Norway/Denmark)
Richmond Film Society - Screening of ‘The Last Viking’ (Norway/Denmark)

This extremely black comedy comes from the Danish auteur director Anders Thomas Jensen who uses his regular ensemble cast in this, his latest film. Some of you will remember RFS's screening Men and Chicken and may also have seen his more recent Riders of Justice. The cast is lead by RFS favourite Mads Mikkelsen and also includes Sofie Gråbøl. Although the film has a 15 certificate, do be prepared for some very gory shocks, with strong violence and bloody images (Anders was the writer of the RFS screened The Promised Land). See the BBFC guidance at https://www.bbfc.co.uk

When a bank robber, Anker, is released from jail after 15 years, he finds that his traumatised brother, Manfred, has retreated into a delusional state, believing himself to be John Lennon, and is too upset by everyone disbelieving him to remember where he buried the money. In desperation, Anker, with the help of a rogue psychiatric nurse, has to round up three other dysfunctional cases to 'reunite the band' in the remote Danish forest in the hope that Manfred will remember where to start digging.

Non-Member Tickets £5

65 non-member tickets are available to purchase for individual screenings in Season 63. Non-member tickets are £5 (full-time students £3) and can be purchased in advance from The Exchange's Box Office: online at http://exchangetwickenham.co.uk/events, by telephone 020 8240 2399 or in person. Non-member tickets sold out for the vast majority of screenings last season, so early pre-booking via The Exchange is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Richmond Film Society

Richmond Film Society was formed in 1963 and has since screened over 950 films. Its objective was, and remains, to bring our community the very best in World Cinema. The seasons run from September to June and attract an aggregate audience of over 5,000. Season 63 will comprise 20 films of international repute, with features from 16 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America, Africa, USA and UK.
