THE FIVE OBSTRUCTIONS (2003) - Jan. 19, 2007
An interesting but somewhat slow-paced documentary about Lars von Trier's efforts to get Jorgen Leth to remake his 1967 short film, "the Perfect Man", five times, each time with different constraints. It's interesting watching Leth trying to solve the problems the various obstructions hold (for the first film, each shot could be no longer than 12 frames). It feels a bit long at times, despite being only 90 minutes, but it was never boring. **1/2
