The First Cry (French: Le Premier Cri) is a 2007 French documentary film directed by Gilles de Maistre.
Synopsis
[edit]The film follows 12 women from different parts the world as they prepare for childbirth. They are portrayed during the 24 hours leading up to the birth of their children.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]The film was released in France on 31 October 2007.[1] Isabelle Regnier wrote in Le Monde that it engages in "sacralization of pregnant women, aestheticization of suffering bodies, ritualization of the gift of life".[3] She said it deprives the women of individuality, for example by using a French voiceover. By primarily depicting home births, it seems to Regnier to present a negative view of hospitals.[3]
It was nominated for the César Award for Best Documentary Film.[4]
