An elegant and humorous film—in the guise of a serious anthropological treatise—spotlights "The Perfect Human," a model of the modern Dane created by our wishful thinking.

This may be about “the perfect human” but I wouldn’t call it a perfect movie. Interesting yes, but forgettable more than anything.

In a sea of infinite possibilities what why and how do we capture a subject? What do we put in front of our camera lens? How do we depict the human? What is the cameras goal why this over that?

Probably one of my new favorite things to come out of the 60s and another great addition to the wonderful year of 67 specifically. 

The questions this film proposes have still yet to be answered, and ones that cinema should continue to ask it itself.
