The post Jean Becker – Les enfants du marais (1999) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The film concerns Dr. Akagi, a doctor on an island in the Seto Inland Sea area during World War II. He runs into conflict with the military while trying to combat a hepatitis epidemic. Akagi earns the nickname “Dr. Liver” (カンゾー先生 Kanzō-sensei) because of his work, though the townsfolk use it as a humorous dig at his persistent diagnosis. Though the broad circumstance of Japan slowly losing the war is the setting, many of the interactions and situations tilt into humor, for instance; the very music used for the doctor running from patient to patient has an upbeat and light-hearted tone.

Donald Richie, International Herald Tribune wrote:
“Doctor Liver” is what they call Takagi sensei, a medical man in a small Inland Sea port during World War II. Convinced that liver complaints are the major cause of death he selflessly goes about his sometimes perilous research. This includes digging up the body of the local projectionist so that he can get at the diseased organ, chasing a giant whale, perhaps after the oil, and witnessing the dropping of the atom bomb, in the enveloping cloud of which he, sure enough, detects a large, malignant liver. That’s about all there is an affectionate chronicle of small-town eccentricity and lame-brained dedication. One is reminded of Akira Kurosawa’s last film, “Madadayo,” also a celebration of a headstrong sensei and one just as filled with jocular sentiment. Both look back upon a world of warm eccentricity and droll consequences. They don’t make films like this anymore.

After a ten-year-old girl is raped and murdered in a small Brittany town suspicion soon falls on René Sterne, an art teacher who was the last person to see the girl alive. Sterne was once a celebrated artist but he has fallen on hard times and lives with his wife, a nurse whose outgoing personality is the opposite to his own. The only person who is convinced that Sterne is not the killer is Vivianne, the local doctor. Frédérique Lesage, the police officer leading the murder investigation, thinks otherwise. The sudden arrival of a self-loving television journalist, Germain-Roland Desmot, stirs things up even more. It isn’t long before Sterne begins to doubt his own sanity…

Extra commentary track by Film Critics Wade Major and Andy Klein is included.

Description
The documentary chronicles the present day stance of the Earth, its climate and how we as the dominant species have long-term repercussions on its future. A theme expressed throughout the documentary is that of linkage; how all organisms and the Earth are linked in a “delicate but crucial” balance with each other, and how no organism can be self-sufficient.

Documentary with commentary by Glenn Close. In 200,000 years on earth humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it’s too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its devastation of the Earth’s riches and change its patterns of consumption. Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s extraordinarily beautiful and moving film was made over three years, shot from the air in more than fifty countries. It is being screened all over the world on the same date, World Environment Day, to convince us all of our individual and collective responsibility towards the planet.
