“Life,” writes Jorgen Leth, “...has to be carefully scrutinized and examined. Good and Evil is an inquisitive film.... What's the inner meaning that lies behind what people are doing, talking about, and feeling? Good and Evil attempts to answer this question. (It) is a film that distinguishes between good and evil, between beauty and ugliness, between the body and facial expressions, between instinctive feeling and reason, between the spoken word and the gesture, between a tender touch and a simple cup of coffee.... There must be some system to our madness.”
