Jorgen Leth - 66 scener fra Amerika / 66 Scenes from America (1981)

The great and famous throughout the world, except Russia, Jorgen Leth making films about America as he sees it. Static camera and a short authors experiences are a mosaic portrait of the United States without comment. Jorgen Leth calls the area and offers a sketch. We look and we feel uneasy. Intuitively, the author felt the coldness, hostility, isolation of American life in the winning of popular culture.
One of the scenes from the movie once made him a legend - we, of course, about Andy Warhol-eating hamburger in real time. Let himself talked about this episode so. When he decided to withdraw his film about America, the scene with Warhol was in his plans for a major. But all said that never, for that Warhol will not do, the more - for free. And so years he came to the factory Warhol, miraculously found it and immediately blurted out that he is Danish director shoots a film about America and wants the camera Warhol ate a hamburger. Warhol was a very quiet, shy person. He listened to the sad summer and said simply: Good. This has created one of the most vivid scenes from his participation in history. The film is not translated, but translation is there and is not required. Words with no to same - before our eyes U.S. alien, and a few remarks in English only underline the need oblivion alienation. I met Summer in the Czech Republic recently, and he asked me why he was not welcome in Russia. He said he talked to Anton Valley when he was working on a book about von Trier, came to Denmark, and it was very interesting to be in Moscow and talk to us about cinema. I replied that the Russian audience saw only the perfect man and The Five Obstructions, which is not enough to speak with a classic about his work. And that you should first familiarize with Russian films Summer, is really an extraordinary man and producer. We spread a film, I think the first step in this direction.
