overview
What is The Five Obstructions about?
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. It blends documentary elements. The film reflects a distinct Belgium style and perspective. The story is brought to life by directors Jørgen Leth and Lars von Trier. With a runtime of 1h 28m, it offers a concise viewing experience.
