Wikipedia article'The Perfect Human' is a cult short film in black and white by Jrgen Leth lasting 13 minutes about a middle class Danish couple performing everyday rituals. The film examines human behavior in a suave, pseudo-scientific way. It depicts well-dressed actors, a man and a woman, both labelled 'the perfect human' in a detached manner, 'functioning' in a blank boundless room, as though they were subjects in a zoo.[https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9C02E4D6143EF935A15756C0A9629C8B63 The Five Obstructions (2003) | FILM REVIEW; A Cinematic Duel of Wits For Two Danish Directors] The tone of world-weary detachment is created through a voice-over providing comments on their mundane actions. The film was later seen in five different versions when Leth was challenged by filmmaker Lars von Trier, which were compiled in 'The Five Obstructions'.
