Amazingly short--but what an amazing film
planktonrules26 February 2008
This film is only about a minute long and is simply amazing. It consists of a naked woman standing and by using time-lapse photography, you see her naked body and especially belly swell from early pregnancy until the child magically appears in her arms (childbirth itself isn't shown--just the lady's body changing during pregnancy). Considering just how many shots it took and how they lined them up perfectly in order to avoid the jerkiness that often occurs in shots like this, this in an amazing work of love. It's obvious that all the time and trouble was worth it for Bill Cote. A daring and fascinating film.

Please note--The lady is totally naked and this might offend some. However, this is not porn and is a very natural and beautiful process, so I wasn't offended despite there being frontal nudity.

Short and beautiful
mahmus12 March 2019
In under a minute, this movie captures the beauty of pregnancy in all its detail. There really isn't much more to say than it is a wonderful short film.
