The Five Obstructions15
In 1967, Jørgen Leth made the short film The Perfect Human: a man and a woman sit in a box while a narrator asks questions about them. Decades later, Lars von Trier challenges Leth to remake it five times, each with a new set of von Trier’s rules, and the rules get stricter every time. Part documentary, part game, it’s a sharp and funny look at two very different filmmakers.
Screening introduced by freelance film programmer Leo Krenzer.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
