Body, The

Synopsis

This 1970 documentary uses microphotography and other innovative techniques, including the use of internal cameras, to explore the human life-cycle from birth and early adolescence, to old-age and death. With a commentary written by poet Adrian Mitchell and music from Ron Geesin and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, the film is an exploration of the physical experience of being human rather than a scientific or medical study.
