In 1960s Denmark, an alcoholic playboy and a meek tax lawyer join forces to revolutionize the travel industry and alter the country’s political landscape, in this shocking, often hysterical, always compelling quasi-biopic.
Since his Camera d’Or-winning debut feature Reconstruction, Christoffer Boe has explored the power of memory — and its capacity to mould an individual’s perception of reality. With his latest, the sometimes shocking, always-compelling quasi-biopic Sex, Drugs & Taxation, he examines collective memory, which, as it turns out, is equally as prone to delusion.

In 1960s Denmark, alcoholic playboy Simon Spies (Pilou Asbaek) and tax lawyer Mogens Glistrup (Nicolas Bro) both feel like outsiders. Together they form a partnership and set out to take over an airline, in the process changing not only aviation but the country’s political landscape.

A surreal buddy movie gone awry, Sex, Drugs & Taxation reminds us that recent history is packed with ironies. A national symbol for sixties’ decadence, Spies was perceived as a revolutionary hedonist who gave the miracle of flight to the masses by creating the region’s first discount airline. Conversely, the arch-conservative Glistrup, despite his completely unpredictable political victories, was considered an embarrassing failure. Yet neither would have thrived without the other. At the heart of the movie is an unusual, influential and doomed friendship — a tragedy with tax laws and copious amounts of booze and LSD. Boe crafts an atmosphere that oscillates between stoned amazement and a creeping sense of horror.

The post Christoffer Boe – Hr. Boe & Co.’s Anxiety (2001) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Zetterstrøm is an accomplished pianist who lives and breathes music. When he plays he shuts out his surroundings, isolates himself entirely in a universe where only he and his piano exist in perfect symbiosis, forgetting all that matters, even those who love him. When his girlfriend finally abandons him he is heartbroken, and his already reclusive nature is strengthened. He travels to New York and takes up residence, now playing concerts physically isolated from the audience. Ten years pass and he feels compelled to return to Copenhagen, but in his absence something very strange has happened to his old neighbourhood…

IMDb guys didn’t like it much, but what do they know? It wasn’t nearly as good as Reconstruction, but I liked it anyway. I have come to adore Boe’s particular style already, and this is only his second movie on the silver screen. Allegro won a Robert award for Best Cinematography (well-deserved, as you can see!), and was nominated for the Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. The main character is played by Ulrich Thomsen, who some of you may remember as Christian in Thomas Vinterberg’s thoroughly incredible dogme movie “The Celebration”, and Helena Christensen plays his significant other. Look out for a short cameo by Alex (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) from Reconstruction.
