Danish Literature (1989)

Directed by Jørgen Leth

Overview

Jørgen Leth’s personal, pleasurable distillation of Danish literature covers seven poets alive at the time of production and twenty classical poets. A handful of actors share readings of the classical texts in semi close ups against a dark background; the living poets read their own works.
