A Body of One's Own

1h 15m
Overview
Elise moves like a dancer, very slowly, refusing a treatment whose side effects she fears, along with the lectures of her doctors. The camera works in harmony with her rhythm, with the movement of her thought, accompanying and sustaining throughout the film the permanent reinvention of her way of being in the world and of facing illness.
