Haiti. Untitled

About This Movie

Haiti. Untitled (1996) is this haunting documentary by Jørgen Leth, who really captures the eerie blend of reality and surrealism in Haiti. It’s not just a study of a country; it’s an exploration of how voodoo intertwines with politics, which gives this film a chilling atmosphere. You feel the weight of history here, soaked in blood and pain, yet there’s a certain poetic quality in the way Leth frames the everyday horrors. It has this raw, unfiltered pacing that pulls you in, almost like you’re part of the crew. The practical effects of life in Haiti are visceral—haunting imagery that stays with you. Leth's observational style feels intimate, almost intrusive at times, which adds to its distinctive character.
