    Cannes gives top award to Romanian abortion film

    The AFP reports.

    I'm very pessimistic about how the topic is treated in this movie. (Has anyone heard anything?)

    Notable (though I'd prefer another word) in the movie's unfolding is the on-screen image of an aborted infant, as well as the "abortionist's graphic description of the process and his chilling exploitation of the women's dilemma that make for particularly excruciating viewing."

    Why the "shocking image" of the murdered infant (my words, of course, they use "fetus")?
    He [the director] put the foetus on screen to serve as a reminder to audiences. "It makes a point -- people should be aware of the consequences of their decisions," he said.
    That seems hardly enough of a reason.

    Update: It looks like my suspicions were confirmed. Catholic Fire compares this movie with a good film on the topic of abortion and crisis pregnancies - namely, Bella, which I've described at length here and offered an opportunity to see for free in Michigan here.

    Matthew at Creative Minority Report is short on patience for movie festivals that hand out awards to entries about people having abortions. His take here.
