METALLICA Drummer Lars Ulrich To Present The Five Obstructions Documentary
June 22, 2009, 15 years ago
According to Cafilm.org, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich will present and discuss a rare screening of an unusual documentary that plays like a provocative game: The Five Obstructions, co-directed and written by Danish filmmakers Jørgen Leth and Lars von Trier. Von Trier is best known as the director of Europa, Dogville, Dancing In The Dark and Breaking the Waves. A multiple award-winner at the Cannes Film Festival, he also co-founded the influential Dogme 95 movement. In The Five Obstructions, von Trier approaches Jørgen Leth, his mentor in Danish filmmaking, with an assignment to remake one of his own early short films (The Perfect Human) five different times, on each occasion with a specific " obstruction." Leth, a leading figure in experimental and documentary filmmaking, has directed over 40 short films and is also a highly acclaimed author of poetry and fiction.
Films Of My Life: Lars Ulrich Presents The Five Obstructions will be screened on September 2nd at 7:00 at Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, CA.
