Content:
Torben Skjødt Jensen wrote, in collaboration with Peter Asmussen, who co-wrote "Breaking the Waves", the TV-film "Afgrunden" (The Abyss), named after the break-thru film of Asta from 1910, and based upon Danish author Henrik Stangerups' notes from 1967, where Stangerup attempted to make a film about her life with Asta playing herself. A young film director wants to make a film about Asta Nielsen. He approached her with the image of her as the diva, but during the interviews, the real Asta shows herself, as a person with emotions and worries, in short a human being. Shot on HD-video, "Afgrunden" is one of the best Danish TV-productions to date and easily one of the best Danish films of recent years. Vera Gebuhr, one of Denmark's finest character actresses, embodies Asta to the smallest idiosyncrasy, and Ole Lemmeke, another great character actor, projects his fascination for his idol onto the audience, even as the diva image collapses and reality shows its face.
