Life

About This Movie

So, 'Life' from 1994 is this intriguing documentary that meanders through the concept of life itself. It's not your typical documentary; it feels more like a poetic essay. The pacing is reflective, slow at times, which really lets you absorb the gravity of birth—labor pains and the raw emotions tied to it. The visuals are stark but beautiful, utilizing practical effects that really ground the experience. The tone is contemplative, almost meditative, which might not be for everyone, but it certainly makes you think about life’s beginnings and the symbolism that carries. It’s distinctive in its approach, often blending the visceral with the philosophical without getting too heavy-handed.
