Sex, Drugs & Taxation

Overview

During Scandinavia's hippie era, the most memorable story might be that of a radical libertarian and a hedonistic capitalist. Outsiders in a conformist country, they built a friendship that carried them through fame and fortune, with brief stops at disgrace and prison. This joyride touches on taxes, mass tourism, prostitutes, and politics. Director Christoffer Boe takes liberties with history, focusing on Simon Spies and Mogens Glistrup across a few decades—a warm, funny tale of defiance and eccentricity.
