De humani corporis fabrica De humani corporis fabrica

Verena Paravel, Lucien Castaing-Taylor / France, Switzerland / 2022 / 115 min

Five centuries ago, anatomist Andreas Vesalius opened up the human body to science for the first time in history. Today, De Humani Corporis Fabrica opens the human body to the cinema. It reveals that human flesh is an extraordinary landscape that exists only through the gaze and attention of others. As places of care, suffering and hope, hospitals are laboratories that connect everyone in the world.
