I Am Alive(Jeg er levende - Søren Ulrik Thomsen, digter)

· 2004
40m
Director Jørgen Leth
Starring Søren Ulrik Thomsen
Genre

With films like Det perfekte menneske and Det gode og det onde in mind the consistent black and white portrait film Jeg er levende gives the impression that Søren Ulrik Thomsen has been invited into Leth's filmic universe, which conversely allows room for the poet's words. Thomsen gives an account of brief memories of childhood in a deliberately "staged" fashion, but more particularly of his experience of writing and on the art of reading aloud, and likewise describing poetry in general as a balance between emotion and cognition.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
