The Five Obstructions (2003)
Ein Film über das Filmemachen: Lars von Trier stellt an seinen Kollegen Jorgen Leth die Aufgabe, er solle seinen Kurzfilm "The perfect Human" noch einmal drehen und zwar nach Vorgaben, die von Trier ihm macht. Danach wird über das Ergebnis gesprochen und anschließend stellt von Trier andere Bedingungen, unter denen Jorgen Leth den Film dann ein erneutes Mal drehen soll. Insgesamt wird der Film dann fünf Mal gedreht, und das Ergebnis ist erstaunlich.
Die Regisseur: Jørgen Leth, Lars von Trier.
