Deconstructing the Socio-Jurido-Medical System
|
| Much like the book that it is based on, the tragic story of Herculine Barbin is thought provoking because it calls to question how we construct the self. Subject to the stresses and strains of society, the medical, legal and theological institutions, Barbin had to choose his/her "sex." In the France of that time -- changing one's sex was allowed but once you made the decision, there was no turning back. A tragedy for the ages but a great way to deconstruct the social construction of the self. An excellent movie ... the film will stand the test of time. Miguel Llora |
