"In this film, Lars von Trier enters the world of documentary film making with Danish documentary film veteran Jorgen Leth. Together, Leth and Von Trier take on the task of challenging conventional ways of documentary and film production. In 1967 Jorgen Leth made a 12 minute short film called The Perfect Human, a document on human behaviour containing the familiar Leth themes - a film which von Trier admired greatly and claimed to have seen more than 20 times. In the year 2000 Lars von Trier challenged Jorgen Leth to make 5 remakes of this film, using Dogma rules of filmmaking. Each time von Trier put forward obstructions, constraining Leth to rethink the story and the characters of the original film from 1967. Playing the naïve anthropologist, Leth attempts to embrace the cunning challenges set forth by the devious and sneaky von Trier. Five times Leth has to deal with the limitations, commands and prohibitions made by von Trier. It becomes a game full of traps and vicious turns. The Five Obstructions is an investigative journey into the phenomenon of film making. (From Denmark, in Danish and English, English subtitles) M (L,S,A) - SBS Website."

"Film director Lars von Trier challenges his idol Jørgen Leth to remake his 1967 film "The perfect human" five times with a change or obstruction each time."
"Lars von Trier enters the world of documentary filmmaking and challenges his idol Jørgen Leth to remake his 1967 film The Perfect Human five times, each time with a new obstruction to force Leth to rethink the story and characters of the original film."
"Summary: The Five Obstructions" is a perverse game of one-upmanship between the Danish director Lars von Trier and his mentor Jorgen Leth. In 1967, we learn, Leth made a 12-minute film named "The Perfect Human." Von Trier admired it so much he saw it 20 times in a single year. Now he summons the 67-year-old Leth from retirement in Haiti and commands him to remake the film in five different ways, despite obstructions which von Trier will supply."

"Est un jeu plein de pièges et de coups vicieux, mais aussi une aventure humaine explorant les rapports entre contraintes et créativité artistique. Le portrait d'un cinéaste qui, poussé dans ses retranchements , réinvente totalement son oeuvre grâce à un regard contemporain transcendé par la poésie. Un voyage initiatique au coeur du processus de la création cinématographique, inclassable et dérangeant."

"Documental sobre 5 Obstrucciones propuestas por Lars von Trier sobre la película "The Perfect Human" dirigida por su mentor Jørgen Leth."
"In the year 2000, internationally acclaimed director Lars von Trier got the chance to work with his fellow Dane and filmmaking idol Jørgen Leth on a most unusual experiment. Leth would remake his celebrated 1967 short The Perfect Human five times: each time with a different challenge (or obstruction) set forth by von Trier that will force Leth to approach it differently, and find a whole new set of creative solutions to re-think the story and characters of the original. Von Trier sets a game in motion that is full of traps and vicious turns, hoping each time Leth will fail. But Leth, playing the naïve anthropologist, rises to the challenge with some surprising results. An Official Selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, and called "brilliant" by the New York Times, this film is an astonishing, award-winning documentary look inside the creative process of filmmaking with a unique twist."
