- Synopsis:
In 'The Five Obstructions' iconoclastic director Lars Von Trier dares legendary 'Renaissance' man and director, producer, novelist, poet and television commentator Jorgen Leth to remake his seminal 1967 short documentary 'The Perfect Human', a cocktail-chic, tongue-in-cheek meditation on human behaviour that Von Trier greatly admires. It's a challenge with a difference, for Leth has to re-produce the film five times, each under fiendish conditions imposed by the perversely playful - and frequently downright sadistic - Von Trier. Leth stoically rises to the challenge; bravely soldiering on through having to render his work into cartoon form, shoot it in Cuba, again in India, and under other increasingly arduous limitations. - Actors:
