The Japanese director Naomi Kawase doesn’t aim to “surprise anyone or teach them anything with her film Genpin. What she wants is to publicise the alternatives that exist for giving birth naturally.” To do this she took a 16mm camera into the clinic run by Doctor Toshimura, who is well-known in his country for having attended more than 20,000 natural births over the last four decades.
The Japanese obstetrician claims that, “thinking about the delivery as something frightening only leads to complications,” so he recommends his patients to do exercise and lead a healthy life.
Yoshimura criticises the procedures followed by obstetricians, “because they only think of doing what’s easiest, and not in the mothers.” He al-so complained about the fact that “death is the absolute evil,” in medicine when he thinks that to a certain extent, “it’s the starting point.”
