A FILM BY JØRGEN LETH
A positive work, full of atmosphere, portraiting poet Søren Ulrik Thomsen. This film is the result of the fructuous meeting between two twin souls, the director and the literate. Both of them know well human nature and how to narrate it. They welcome the audience inside their own world of images, rhythms and words. Leth paints his picture escorted by the musical accompaniment of soft and melancholic jazz. It is a picture not only of the poet’s mind, but also of the sensibility of the man.
