The human body might perhaps be thoroughly researched—but its needs and the hardships it endures often remain a mystery. Anatol Bogendorfer observes four basic principles of physical existence using the examples of a midwife, a family doctor, a sex worker, and an undertaker couple. With unembellished realism and respectful distance, he submerges in the working world and documents the becoming, dysfunctions, and sexual needs in this world. And the final farewell to it.
Reviews
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
