Hovedjægerne

1971 · 89 min

A wry, talky Danish satire where youthful idealism collides with middle-aged office life, amusing but rarely laugh-out-loud.

Directed by
Bent Christensen
Genres
Comedy
Overview
A group of young people want to change society, so they cut off the head of a statue of Christian IV. The head is hidden in the archives of Director Lund, where Anna has just been hired. Anna teaches Director Lund to be young and liberated. Lund goes along with it but is ultimately betrayed by the group.
