“Count Axel” is a comedy that takes place somewhere in the nordic countries in 1783. It’s a classic comedy about mixed identities, with strong elements of contemporary humour and satire. One should conceive “Count Axel” as a scandinavian version of the humour that you will find in works like “Black Adder” and “Life of Brian”. A humorous universe that takes off in the big classical epos of our past. It is our inheritance from the time of the feudal era, with evil rich lords; and god, pure pesants that is the set-up in “Count Axel”. To take this genre of heavy historical films and twist it in to a crazy comedy with the respect of a strong storyline, that is the ambition of “Count Axel” |
