Per Kirkeby og Jørgen Leth om filmen: “Det skal være en smuk film, som helt reelt skildrer naturen, og som også udnytter associationer, der er knyttet til Dyrehaven som begreb. Skelettet er årstidernes skiften, skildret i billeder. Med “billeder” menes enkelte billeder uden anden indbyrdes kontinuitet end den, som selve rammen, årstidernes skiften, giver. Ind i dette skelet bygger vi rent romantiske billeder som et associationsfelt, der ligesom rummer den historiske side af Dyrehaven. Dyrehaven er jo ikke en hvilkensomhelst skov, men en skov, som optager en stor plads i landets kunstneriske bevidsthed.”

Per Kirkeby and Jørgen Leth about the film: ‘It should be a beautiful film that truly depicts nature, and which also utilises associations linked to Dyrehaven as a concept. The skeleton is the changing of the seasons, depicted in images. By ‘images’ we mean individual images without any continuity other than that provided by the frame itself, the changing seasons. Into this skeleton, we build purely romantic images as a field of association that contains the historical side of the Deer Park. After all, Dyrehaven is not just any forest, but a forest that occupies a large place in the country’s artistic consciousness.’

Quote:
This film about the Deer Garden, a forest park north of Copenhagen, was an assignment to celebrate the Deer Garden’s 300th anniversary. Leth and the painter Per Kirkeby above all wanted to do an attractive film about life in the forest orchestrated around the four seasons. The photography is heavily inspired by the Danish Golden Age painters’ view of nature. Kirkeby, Leth and DP Henning Camre worked on and off for a full year to find the ideal light and the optimum framing, seeking out the truly beautiful. As Leth puts it, “there was complete…golden-section control of the whole film. “The narrative holds tiny traces of romantic-poetry notions of mystical and mythical forest life: a nude woman appears among the tree trunks and vanishes again like a fairy girl on a summer night. Peace and harmony rule in the Deer Garden. People are tine background elements who do not take up much space in the grand scheme of nature, which rightfully belongs to animals and plants. Over lovely shots swaddled in Henning Christiansen’s score comes an occasional, matter-of-fact narration by forest ranger Tage A. Jensen, in almost contrapunctal contrast to the romantic visuals – objectiveness opposed to artful beauty.
