THE PERFECT HUMAN
Posted by Fabio 17 June 2010
The Perfect Human is a 1967 short film by Jørgen Leth lasting 13 minutes. It depicts a man and a woman, both labelled ‘the perfect human’ in a detached manner, “functioning” in a white boundless room, as though they were subjects in a zoo. The film was later seen in five different versions when Leth was challenged by filmmaker Lars von Trier which was compiled in ‘The Five Obstructions’.
