Whilst watching this I found myself to be very intrigued throughout, its because I didn’t really know what to make of it. I have never seen something like this before, where someone has given themselves obstructions and then try and recreate something else. If I had not read anything about this then I really wouldn’t have known what to write for this 100 words that is why I have done it so late. I have read that it is described as a game between the two, Jørgen Leth and Lars von Trier. Jorgen Leth made ‘The Perfect Human’ and then the remake by Von Trier. Snatches of ‘The Perfect Human’ appears in the 5 Obstructions, but Von Trier seems to have answered some questions as in ‘The Perfect Human’ a voice over asks ‘is this the perfect human?’, whereas in the 5 obstructions the voice over states what is going on ‘this is a perfect human dancing’, it tells you more of what is going on instead of asking a question.
