Birth and Death

Birth and Death (1968) is a documentary film directed by Eugene Marner, Arthur Barron rated 5.0/10.

This cinema-verite-style documentary interweaves the pregnancy and childbirth of a young woman with the lingering death of a cancer patient to comment on the celebration and tragedy of existence. The tenderness and intimacy of the young couple, and the mystery of birth are contrasted with the dignity of a man who faces his death without deception.
