Jesper Dalgaard
Weltschmerz
Film

The latest film from Danish director Jesper Dalgaard is an intimate, wry, and ultimately life-affirming tale of role-play and relationships set during the rehearsals for a play. Its director, a blind woman who has recently experienced the end of a relationship, leads her small cast through an exploratory search for meaning, which includes a sequence of acting exercises and costume role-plays which increasingly test the limits of reality itself. Dalgaard’s approach to the material is mixing fiction with hybrid documentary direction, wherein the film was allowed to evolve organically, dynamically. Talking about the film’s unusual approach, Dalgaard explained that he was discovering the meaning and structure of it as they went along – learning as much from the cast as from his own notes and ideas.

The name of Dalgaard’s graduation film at the National Danish Film School, in 2017, is named after the term »Weltschmerzes« – a term that was coined by the writer Jean Paul and describes the subjective feeling of inadequacy in relation to life that goes hand in hand with faith that physical reality can never meet the demands of the mind. For the performers, who have all forms of physical disabilities or learning difficulties, this concept takes on a new meaning based on the question of whether people can escape the perceived “limits” of their otherness, while at the same time empathizing with the experiences of a person who is separate from themself.
