Jørgen Leth “The perfect human”

Seguro que en breve hablaremos de “Nymphomaniac”, la última película de Lars Von Trier. Este nunca ha ocultado que Jørgen Leth es una de sus referencias. De hecho en 2003 rodaron una película juntos en la que el joven director sometía a cinco obstrucciones a su maestro (“De fem benspænd”). La huella de Jørgen Leth sobre Lars Von Trier es fácil de localizar en la asepsia de la mítica “66 Scenes from America” (con la célebre escena de Andy Warhol comiéndose una hamburguesa). Pero hoy os dejamos con una de las primeras películas de Jørgen Leth “The perfect human”. Puede ser todo un reto buscar similitudes con al producción de Lars Vor Trier y sin embargo sí que las encontraremos más fácilmente con otros coetáneos suyos como Bruce Nauman. O, a lo mejor, rebuscando en la vida de Jørgen Leth encontráis de manera más clara esa referencia a Lars Von Trier y al “Nymphomaniac”…

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
