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.

The Five Obstructions is perfectly fine as a

The Five Obstructions is perfectly fine as a documentary. As with anything that has aspirations you will find those on either side that love or hate it. This is not a film that deserves such strong reactions. It is more like: let us try this challenge for fun and see if it comes out interesting. The Five Obstructions does come off as mildly interesting, especially for those who are interested in the creative process. It is not as good as a film as Hearts of Darkness but rather is at about the level of Lost in La Mancha. Really, it's fine.

Lars von Trier is a mischievous joker in

Lars von Trier is a mischievous joker in this film where he has a documentary filmmaker remake an old film with a variety of modifications and handicaps. I wasn’t sure where it was going, but it did culminate in a ruminative and philosophical climax with food for thought.

I'm not usually the biggest fan of documentaries

I'm not usually the biggest fan of documentaries, but this is probably the best one I've ever seen. Von Trier was hilarious in this and I loved the dynamic between the two characters. It was also very interesting seeing how Leth made his films and how he worked the obstructions, with his film segments being some of the best parts of the whole movie. It's far from von Trier's best, but it's still an amazing film.
