1. How successfully does Jørgen Leth handle the obstructions?   

I think he handles them quiet well. I was most impressed with his ability to handle the obstruction of Lars Von Trier himself....
 
2. Are the obstructions helpful in making creative work, or are they stumbling blocks?

I think they helped, but I dont think they were necessary...being given obstructions should lead to creative ways to handle those obstructions but I dont think Jorgen Leth really needed the creative help. 



3. How might this film help you make your own work?

I liked how raw and exposed these recreated scenes were, especially the when Jorgen Leth becomes the perfect human. Seeing how I like to make my works personal, it's intriguing to see how another visual artist was able to personalize his work to make it about him.
