It’s right there in the title: Claire Simon’s stunningly personal documentary “Our Body” might generally be about her own health journey, but it’s really fixated on the communal experience of occupying a female body. Our body. While academics have tried to uncover the mystique behind women’s physiques, and narrative filmmakers have grappled with the “male gaze” permeating the female form, Simon’s “Our Body” positions the body in its strictly anatomical purposes, ranging from reproduction to even death. Simon uses the film as both a personal journey through her own cancer diagnosis and as a general observation of the everyday operations of a gynecological ward in a public hospital in Paris.
