Olsen-banden over alle bjerge!

I am in the present state of writing not familiar with the whole chronology of Olsenbanden film, but I must say this one was really great. Even though the narrative is a bit uneven at times and perhaps presupposes a knowledge of prior entries in the series everything in the movie has the stamp of genius. It is incredible that the series could survive even into the 1980s describing a sublime Copenhagen which still exists but perhaps a world which no longer exists. Moreover, this is of course comedy and extremely funny characters. Yvonne is a great character and so are the three members of the gang, and the two police officers, of course. The locations are also very interesting, and there is a function on the DVD which can list the names of the locations as the movie is shown. This is supposedly the last movie in the series. I have at the moment of writing not seen the revival from 1998 but it is hard to believe that it should be able to imitate the incredible magic and genius of the original Erik Balling Olsenbanden movies.
