"The Perfect Human" is a 13-minute black-and-white film from almost 50 years ago. It is a Danish production by writer and director Jørgen Leth, so make sure you get subtitles. Or just do not watch it at all. I am fairly surprised this film is so famous. It shows us the perfect man and the perfect woman eating, undressing, lying in bed and just existing in general. However, I must say I never found it inspiring or funny, let alone the wrong statement that perfection exists in a general sense. Perfection is something different to everybody else. But maybe this is also what Leth is telling us by showing us in the end that the perfect man was apparently left by his girlfriend, so he wasn't perfect to her (anymore). Not a particularly interesting short movie. Not recommended.
