7.5/10
Interesting semi-documentary featuring the filmmakers Lars von Trier and Jorgen Leth. Von Trier challenges Leth to remake his 1967 film The Perfect Human five times, each time with Von Trier providing a different set of obstacles. For example, the first obstruction says that the movie must be made in Cuba, with no shot longer than 12 frames. Another obstruction says that the movie must be entirely animated. It's very interesting to see Leth respond to each of his challenges (and he does, with gusto) and to see Von Trier, ego in high gear, attempting to "defeat" (althoug he would call it aiding) Leth. Lots of fun.
