Syndromes and a Century

Streaming video - 2006

“You find yourself moved, even enchanted, by the beautiful, oblique stories unfolding before your eyes… SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY is split in two. The first half takes place at a quiet rural hospital, while the second unfolds at a much larger and more modern urban medical complex… The beauty of the film is an aspect partly of its patient attention to faces, trees, landscapes and architectures, and partly of the subtle precision of the camera movements… I’ve come to appreciate both the clarity and the mystery of this film, which welcomes you into a world of simplicity and strangeness” – Excerpted from A. O. Scott’s review in The New York Times.
