The Five Obstructions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0\u00bb The Five Obstructions<\/span><\/em><\/strong> (Danish: <\/span><\/em>De fem bensp\u00e6nd<\/span><\/em><\/strong>) is a 2003 Danish film by\u00a0Lars von Trier and\u00a0J\u00f8rgen Leth. The film is adocumentary, but incorporates lengthy sections of\u00a0experimental films produced by the filmmakers. The premise is that Lars von Trier has created a challenge for his friend and mentor, J\u00f8rgen Leth, another filmmaker. von Trier’s favourite film is Leth’sThe Perfect Human (1967). von Trier gives Leth the task of\u00a0remaking The Perfect Human five times, each time with a different ‘obstruction’ (or obstacle) given by von Trier.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The obstructions<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Leth must remake the film in\u00a0Cuba (but with no set) with no shot longer than 12 frames, and he must answer the questions posed in the original film; Leth successfully completes this task.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Leth must remake the film in the worst place in the world but not show that place onscreen; additionally, Leth must play the role of \u00ab\u00a0the man\u00a0\u00bb. The meal must be included but the woman is not to be included. Leth remakes the film in the\u00a0red light district of\u00a0Bombay, only partially hiding it behind a translucent screen.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Because Leth failed to complete task 2 perfectly, von Trier punishes him, telling him to either remake the film in any way he chooses, or redo obstruction 2 in Bombay again. Leth chooses the first option and remakes it in\u00a0Brussels using split-screen effects.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Leth must remake the film as an\u00a0animation. He does so with the aid of\u00a0Bob Sabiston, a specialist in\u00a0rotoscoping, who creates animated versions of shots from the previous films.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  5. The fifth obstruction is that von Trier has already made the fifth version, but it must be credited as Leth’s, and Leth must read a\u00a0voice-over narration ostensibly from his own perspective but in fact written by von Trier. \u00a0\u00bb (Source: <\/span>Wikipedia<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
