Storyline / Plot Summary
In 1967, experimental filmmaker Jorgen Leth created a striking short film, The Perfect Human, starring a man and women sitting in a box while a narrator poses questions about their relationship and humanity. Years later, Danish director Lars von Trier made a deal with Leth to remake his film five times, each under a different set of circumstances and with von Trier’s strictly prescribed rules. As Leth completes each challenge, von Trier creates increasingly further elaborate stipulations.
Directed by Lars von Trier, Jørgen Leth, The Five Obstructions brings together a talented cast and crew to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. With a runtime of 90 minutes, this documentary promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stunning visuals.
