Jørgen Leth: Interference
The Danish director Christoffer Boe writes in the box booklet:
” For one scene alone Interference is a must see. The scene: an extended medium close shot of Hanne Uldal, as The Woman, lying naked on the metal floor of a balcony. And no, it´s not because we´re looking at the best breasts in Danish cinema, but because her declaration of love is the purest image we have of a certain kind of male psyche. Sure, it´s The Woman speaking, but she is expressing The Man´s innermost desire.
His endless desire to combine woman´s total devotion and care with his own self-control and work achivement.
-Use me for anything. I want you to. I will massage your temples with a lemon.
-While I´m writing?
-Yes, while you´re writing.
Writing while a woman loves you – what more could you ask for!”
