A Japanese film primarily about life… most especially newborn life.
A documentary which focuses on a particular clinic run by Dr. Yoshimura in a rural area of Japan. He admonishes the modern health care system for being motivated purely by profit. The women who come here learn how to exercise naturally and to be calm within and without in order to have a birthing process as God originally intended.
A very intimate film yet lacks focus and story development...
The only American film represented in the Official Selection. This is a John Sayles film set in the Philippines in the early 1900’s and was truly disappointing in my humble opinion.
Shallow characters, confusing story construction, and poor cinematography combine to form something which I cannot recommend.
