The Five Obstructions

The perfect human is quite a strange and intriguing film. Filmed in Cuba it encapsulating all the traits of a typical Cuban male and female.  The use of the 5 obstructions by Lars Von Trier is very enthralling but exceptionally strange. To me the film is all too weird, for example the perfect human wouldn’t be a male Cuban gangster getting undressed. The film only allows the creater to use up to 12 frames per shot, this restriction creates a more surreal feel to the artifact.
