OMG Babies!



I'm not just posting this because it's about babies. Ok, maybe I am. But while I think that it's truly a lovely idea to make a movie about the first year of four babies' lives, I kind of feel bad for the kids who will be scrutinized for the whole year.

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing how the video looks at the gendered division of labour in the households.

But really, I'm just excited because there are babies.

  1. Something about the life-affirming Sufjan Stevens track or maybe the long cuts of babies just looking at things or maybe the shmaltzy one-world one-love aesethic makes me think we aren't going to be seeing anything particularly penetrating or unadulterated here.

    The babies are very, very cute though. The baby goat interaction is enough to warm even my curmudgeonly heart.

    That is one is for Sarah. The rest of you can blow me.
