Why watch this film?
César-winning documentary and Berlinale selection from director Claire Simon. In Our Body, the director immerses herself in a public hospital in Paris, capturing the experience of living in a female body in all its diversity: pregnant women, those who want and cannot be mothers, those going through gender transition, those suffering from cancer... It is a deep and powerful meditation on what it means to be a woman with desires, illnesses, joys, and sorrows, which, by extension, speaks volumes about the human experience as a whole.
