The Five Obstructions

Lars von Trier challenges his mentor, Jørgen Leth, to remake his 1968 classic short film The Perfect Human five times, with a series of increasingly outlandish guidelines. Von Trier’s rules include, among others, that one film be shot in animation, and another in the most miserable place on earth.
