An NYT Critics' Pick: "An intimate, moving, intelligent doc about the frontlines of women’s healthcare." -Jessica Kiang, Variety. In one of the most talked about films from this year's Berlinale, veteran documentarian Claire Simon observes the everyday operations of the gynecological ward in a public hospital in Paris. Amidst scenes of babies wailing, C-sections, and patients young and old, cis and trans, Simon navigates her own cancer diagnosis, which "adds a fresh layer of depth to this already profound meditation on patients, and women at large" –NYT.
In French with English subtitles.
