Movie

Kassen stemmer

1976

A breezy, talky caper that ambles through double-crosses with dry Danish wit and a light comic touch.

Overview: Three young men discover a scam that three somewhat older gentlemen from Aarhus' upper class have set up to avoid bankruptcy. The gentlemen directors have both accounts and safe deposit boxes at the bank branch where one of the young men works, so it seems only natural to give the swindlers a taste of their own medicine, so to speak. The situation is further complicated when a journalist gets wind of the double heist and wants his share of the pie.
How it feels: Light, satirical, whimsical and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Crime, class, deception, greed
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
