Reflection
Evald Schorm / Czechoslovakia / 1965 / 32 min.
synopsis
A multilayered documentary film draws the viewer into a hospital environment, where we meet not only patients, with their fears, pains, and joys, but also doctors. Jan Špata’s brilliant, sensitive camera work allows us to penetrate the souls of the various figures, even touching at the end on the serious topic of suicide.
