An odd film that will be most readily enjoyed by those with interests behind the camera. Lars von Trier, whose career has had its lulls but always remains fascinating, takes filmmaker Jorgen Leth to task on the art of filmmaking. What follows is a game set forth by von Trier where Leth has to make five short films, each with an "obstruction" in his path. These are things like making a short with no cuts that are over a frame long or shooting in the red light district of Calcutta. Leth decimates all of von Trier's obstructions, constructing five perfect shorts with ease. Not the most engaging of movies, and a lot of the time Leth doesn't seem like he even wants to be there, but his shorts make the movie worth a viewing if you have an interest in the art of filmmaking. |
