Synopsis:

The fourth box set in The Jørgen Leth Collection contains Leth's fiction films. Though the element of fiction is far from dominant in Jørgen Leth's oeuvre, he has made two 'fiction features,' Interference (1983) and Traberg (1992). Both are set in Haïti and both revolve around a lost, searching male character. The protagonists vanish or are gradually ousted from the centre of the fiction, as the real world moves in with a violence and obsessive power that makes Haïti itself the true subject of both films. While Leth is hesitant, even noncommittal, about his lead characters' actions and ends, he never blinks when exploring the concrete reality of their chaotic surroundings. As Leth says, 'My whole project and experiment was to make a kind of collapsible fiction I could take with me, letting my foreign correspondent's story play out in a series of concrete situations, where reality would be not just a setting but a living co-player.' As an added bonus, this box set also contains Jørgen Leth and Per Kirkeby's 1979 TV-production of A Midsummer Night's Play (1979), an 1803 Danish Golden-Age classic by the Romantic poet Adam Oehlenschläger. Paying tribute to poetry, the production is faithful to the original text. Leth and Kirkeby present the play in tableau form, featuring the finest Danish actors of the day in a festive romp through Oehlenschläger's elaborate verse and metrics.

Interference (1983)
