Life in Denmark (1972)
Synopsis
"The intention of the film is to give an impression of what small exotic Denmark looks like, what the strange Danes look like and how they are. Nearly 100 Danes are presented in the film, amongst them a racing cyclist, a Minister of Finance, a popular actor and 13 unmarried women from a provincial town.
"There is too much fogginess and rain and melancholy in most of the pictures of Denmark", says Jørgen Leth. "But not in my film. I would like to show you some authentic, clear and beautiful pictures from this strange country." (Danish Film Institute)

Max By Chance (2004)
Synopsis
This is the story of Max, the director's own story, playfully animated within the realms of documentary. Max's story traces back several generations to sailors, industrialists and Summer of Love hippies - everyone depicted with whole-hearted love and equal amounts of irony. But there is something more at stake here, something larger than the biographical filmic note of a single man. The film embraces with vulnerable playfulness life's many coincidences and grapples with questions such as genetics, destiny and family patterns. (Danish Film Institute)
