Cannes 2011: Scorsese and Von Trier team up
Maverick arthouse director Lars Von Trier will team up with American auteur Martin Scorsese on a new project, dubbed The Five Obstructions.The film is based on Von Trier’s original 2003 experiment, in which he set out to remake one of his favourite shorts five times, each with a different “obstruction”.One was challenge was that no shot should last longer than 12 frames, while another segment was shot in “the most miserable place in the world”.Von Trier, whose latest film Melancholia is up for this year’s Palme d’Or, is no stranger to rules and restrictions, having co-founded the avant-garde Dogme 95 filmmaking movement.But it’ll be interesting to see how veteran filmmaker Scorsese rises to the challenge, which is expected to see him revisiting Taxi Driver in some form.

Kind of excited to see what will happen here. One of my life goals is to see a Von Trier film and totally understand it.
