The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
This film re-edits the work of Jørgen Leth to focus on his anger, pain of abandonment, anxiety and breakdown. Simon Staho arranges Leth's own words and images in a new way. It shows one artist looking closely at another artist.

What happens
Jørgen Leth - fem undersøgelser er en serie af fem danske eksperimentalfilm fra 2014, der er instrueret af Simon Staho. Instruktør Simon Staho er gået på opdagelse i Jørgen Leths samlede værk - billede for billede, linje for linje - og har fundet en anden side af levemanden og æstetikeren: vreden, den forladte elskers smerte, angsten og sammenbruddet. Alle ord og billeder er skabt af Jørgen Leth, der også lægger stemme til, men de er sat sammen på en anderledes måde. Det er en kunstners blik på en anden kunstner. Denne beskrivelse stammer fra Det Danske Filminstituts Filmdatabase. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
