THE LAST VIKING: Mads Mikkelsen Week at FOMO Cinema
Sunday 12. July at 19:00 - 20:56
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
There are movie stars, there are character actors, and then there is Mads Mikkelsen. Over three decades he has moved effortlessly between Copenhagen gangsters, priests, teachers, cannibals, Vikings, alcoholics, spies, surgeons and at least one man who cooks human beings for a living.
He has worked with Nicolas Winding Refn, Thomas Vinterberg, Susanne Bier, Anders Thomas Jensen and some of the biggest directors in international cinema, balancing arthouse cinema with global blockbusters.
For one week, FOMO is tracing that journey across eleven films. We'll start in the criminal underworld of 1990s Copenhagen, move through the dark comedies that helped define modern Danish cinema, and finish with the performances that transformed Mikkelsen into one of the defining screen presences of his generation.
Some of these films are masterpieces. Some are cult oddities. Many are both.
Welcome to MADSNESS at FOMO Cinema Tbilisi.
THE LAST VIKING
Anders Thomas Jensen | 2025 | Denmark / Sweden | 1h56m | Danish with English subtitles
By this point in MADSNESS we've had gangster Mads, sad Mads, cannibal Mads, fat Mads, ripped Mads, prestige Mads, drunk Mads and villainous Mads. THE LAST VIKING gives us mentally-ill Mads.
Fifteen years after a robbery sent his brother to prison, Manfred is the only person who knows where the money was buried. Unfortunately, Manfred has spent those fifteen years retreating into another identity entirely.
These days he insists on being called John Lennon.
What follows is perhaps the most Anders Thomas Jensen premise imaginable: a black comedy involving childhood trauma, buried loot, dissociative identity disorder and an attempt to reunite The Beatles somewhere in rural Scandinavia.
Reuniting Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Anders Thomas Jensen for their sixth collaboration, THE LAST VIKING continues the director's fascination with damaged men, broken families and people trying to navigate a world that was never really built for them. Somehow, against all available evidence, it also becomes unexpectedly moving.
Premiering out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, the film quickly became one of the most talked-about Danish releases of the year and another chapter in one of modern cinema's most reliable creative partnerships.
A film about buried money, childhood trauma and Mads Mikkelsen trying to reunite The Beatles has absolutely no right being this heartfelt. And yet somehow it is.
