De humani corporis fabrica

What might a film examining the human body from inside rather than from the outside look like? Two anthropologists from the renowned Sensory Ethnography Laboratory at Harvard University hazard an answer. With their creations regularly laying into sundry documentary taboos, here they embark upon a fascinating journey across a landscape of human tissue; squelching through an unruly sanguineous riverbed, they skirt around futuristically shaped organs and rest for a while by a majestically prolapsed spine. A surgical trip with an unexpected arthouse catharsis which offers an immensely powerful physical experience for hard-boiled festival matadors. However, we strongly advise sensitive individuals of the film’s extreme subject matter and its equally explicit treatment. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
