Check out the trailer to this new film from Focus Features. It’s simply titled “Babies,” and the plot (evidently) is simply that it’s a documentary about four babies. The plot according to the web site is:
Everybody loves… BABIES. This visually stunning new movie simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from first breath to first steps. From Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo, BABIES joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.
Watch it. It’s adorable. Focus Features has done some films I liked like Away We Go, Atonement, and Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but they’re not exactly the most family friendly pictures, or produced by a company run by NFP and birth advocates. So, cynical me is wondering…what’s the catch? What population control ridiculousness or birth control status quo are they going to try to work into the film? Time will tell. Release is early 2010.
