Leisa Gwenllian gives a remarkable performance in this ferocious Welsh-language film adaptation of the one-woman play Iphigenia in Splott, transforming the doomed Iphigenia of Greek tragedy into a working-class Welsh woman surviving in the slate quarry town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, a forgotten corner of Snowdonia.

Effi is a young woman desperate to escape a town where the pubs are closed, the jobs have vanished and her grandmother works night shifts in the local chip shop just to get by. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee briefly opens a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.

A humorous, intriguing, and devious tale about identity.

After serving fifteen years in prison, bank robber Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is determined to recover the stolen money his brother Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen) buried years earlier. There’s just one problem: Manfred, caught in an identity crisis and convinced he is John Lennon, can no longer remember where it is hidden. The brothers set off on an increasingly chaotic hunt for the missing fortune, digging up old family secrets on the way.

“A darkly comic, anarchic, supremely odd film…The Last Viking is one of the year’s most original and unpredictable films.”
