Original Title: Det perfekte menneske
Director: Jørgen Leth
Year: 1967
Writers: Jørgen Leth, Ole John
Cinematographer: Henning Camre, Ole John
A short film featuring a dehumanizing voice over, from the perspective of a total alien or robot, describing and pondering "the perfect human" as the human acts in a repetitive or dehumanizing manner, as if to demonstrate that even a dehumanized human is still human?
Is it meant to debunk the idea of "perfect human" as an oxymoron? To be human is to not be perfect, so the perfect human would be an imperfect human... I think this is what Leth was thinking about when he made the film.
