The Perfect Human

The Perfect Human

(Det perfekte menneske), Jørgen Leth / Dánsko, 1967
Danish / English subtitles, 13 min

Nissen and Maiken Algren are in an empty white room, the necessary aids are the only ones in every scene. A bed, blankets, a table and chairs. The whole film is constructed with the great precision of picture compositions with a few characteristic camera‘s approaches, which are to show the parts of the perfect being’s body and to emphasize the light, the open–ended emptiness of the room.
