On the set of the Danish movie "Spies & Glistrup".....
So about a year and half ago I was on the set of a Danish movie called "Spies & Glistrup". In short it is about two men who changed a lot of things in Denmark, Spies put the charter trip on the marked in Denmark and was also an rather public person - let's just say if you look him up, be over 18 years old.... - and Glistrup, was an totally different person from Spies but they became very good friends, for a while. Glistrup made it as a politican with the motto: no one should pay taxes. The movie itself spands over 3 decades and I was in the 70's.
I only made a splitsecond in the movie, but as one of my best friend said - who is also in the movie shortly - we had a great time there and I can remember we - the extras - joked about how our parents dressed back then... and that's one of the good part being an extra when you get the chance to dress differently than your normal clothes.
For me though it ended up being a bit more challenging.... I got to wear glasses, which I am ok with, however these glasses were not neutral and with the total wrong glass for my eyes, I really had trouble seeing past a few feets ahead of me... a bit of a problem when walking up the stairs or walking down the streets... sadly both two cuts that didn't make the movie... good fun still..... you can read a bit about the movie further down (quickly translated from translating from Danish to English....any error.... well....)
So here they are...
The movie poster is found on the internet...
The next two photos are taken with my cell phone and thus not that good...
An translated information about the movie - from Google translation - from www.kino.dk website...
The drama 'Spies & Glistrup' is a fiction film inspired by the story of two of the most colorful personalities in the period 1965-1984.
Simon Spies, the young director of travel company Spies Travel, meetings in the 1960s his old fellow student from the University of Copenhagen, Glistrup.
The two bright top, eccentric men begin a friendship that they both benefit from. Spies use Glistrup knowledge about the tax system to urgently push his business forward and Glistrup use Spies as an opportunity to find and highlight the gaps in the Danish tax.
They challenge both Jante Law, but friendship comes to the test, as their different perceptions of reality collide.
The director Christoffer Boe broke through with the acclaimed Reconstruction in 2003 and has since mostly moved in the artistic film genre.
'Spies & Glistrup' is a different and broader size, and the drama is inspired by the story of two of the most colorful personalities.
Pilou Asbæk play Simon Spies and is known from the TV series "Borgen" (2010 -) as well as the films R (2010) and hijacking (2012). Glistrup portrayed by Nicolas Bro, who previously starred in all of Christoffer Boe's films and so versatile other works such as King's Game (2004), Bird Hunt (2012) and Sorry to bother (2012). Note: he was also to be found in the USA movie "War Horse" as the German soldier who helps the horse Joy.....
