In 2000, Lars von Trier gave an assignment to his hero, the great Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth. Together they would watch and discuss Leth's 1968 short THE PERFECT HUMAN -- "a little gem that we are going to ruin," smirks von Trier. Leth then would set out to remake his own film five times, with von Trier imposing a series of obstructions on each remake. Some of these are formal limitations (shots in the first film can be no longer than 12 frames), while others assume moral, personal or even metaphysical intonations. Leth proves to be a wily opponent. The meetings between the two masters, with Leth reporting back to von Trier, are studies in self-concealment -- and frequently funny.
