39 minutes that'll make you mourn a poet you just met.
A film documenting the life and death of Eik Skaløe as a poet and singer for the danish band Steppeulvene. A symbol for the Danish hippie-movement.
Direction
Madsen builds elegy from fragments—home movies, poems, silence.
Production
Raw archival intimacy; feels like finding someone's lost diary.
Director
Ole Christian Madsen
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Steppeulvene only released one album, yet became Denmark's most mythologized rock band—this doc essentially created the Eik Skaløe legend for generations who never saw him live.
Director Ole Christian Madsen was only 23 when he made this, roughly Eik's age at death—a choice that bleeds into the film's desperate, searching quality.
