What Is The Five Obstructions About?
The premise of The Five Obstructions without spoilers.
Danish director Lars von Trier challenges filmmaker Jorgen Leth in this unique cinematic experiment. Leth is tasked with recreating his 1967 short film, "The Perfect Human," five times, but with increasingly unusual and restrictive rules imposed by von Trier.
