1967年，丹麦电影导演乔根·莱斯（Jørgen Leth）创作出颇具实验色彩的作品《完美的人（Det perfekte menneske）》。也许乔根本人都没料到，四十多年后，他的作品竟会以如此奇特的方式被人记起和关注。始作俑者拉斯·冯·特里尔，Dogma95的发起者，他邀请乔森按照常识（challenge on the technique）、表达手段（absence of figure）、自由发挥（challenge on personal limit）、动画（形式的多样化）、内容（deprivation of contents）等电影创作的五种基本形式重拍《完美的人》，且在重拍基础上还要进行再创造。周旋于孟买、哈瓦那、布鲁塞尔等地，一部奇特的电影人之间的互搏悄悄诞生……
本片荣获2004年Motovun电影节国际影评人费比西奖。
无法讲述一场精神分析。在此六个人冒着风险来谈论它，六种声音，六张面容，男女老少，向我们缓缓道来。 那些过去的人生片段，被撕碎的，缝缝补补的东西。 精神分析家扮演着的角色通常是沉默的，看不见的。 “分析会谈是一个存在于时间之外的空间。 你的话语占据了一切…… 话语在此有一种别处没有的意义”
Impossible de raconter une psychanalyse. Six personnes prennent ici le risque d'en parler. Six voix, six visages, de tous ages, s'adressent à nous. Des morceaux de la vie passent, déchiquetés, re-tricotés. Les figures du psychanalyste rôdent, invisibles, silencieuses. "La séance c'est un espace hors du temps balisé. Votre parole prend toute sa place... Les mots ont ici une valeur... qu'ils n'ont nulle part ailleurs."
Largely unchanged for more than a century, the projection of photochemical film faces an uncertain future in the digital age. The practice of handing and projecting film is in danger of being lost and the role of film projectionist is nearing extinction. THE DYING OF THE LIGHT explores at the history and craft of motion picture presentation through the lives and stories of the last generation of career projectionists. By turns humorous and melancholic, their candid reflections on life in the booth reveal a world that has largely gone unnoticed and is now at an end. The result is a loving tribute to the art and romance of the movies-and to the unseen people who brought the light to our screens.
Beyond the famous speeches and wealth of media material on the statesman, we span the century as seen from behind the scenes of an exceptional itinerary in order to capture the true dimension of one of the greatest European political figures. Like a thrilling biopic, by turn moving, funny and epic, our documentary is up to its hero.
Carefully remastered and colorized, the film draws from a wealth of visual and sound archives, to give an all-encompassing view of both the private and public man. Through the contrasted chapters of his existence, it thus offers a new, unseen before perspective on Churchill's character and how he related to power and his contemporaries in order to lift the veil on a colourful, puzzling, paradoxical and captivating personality.
