Every year in France, 92,000 people are placed under psychiatric care without their consent. This documentary focuses on those who have been involuntarily remanded to a mental hospital, documenting the hearings that are required to take place 12 days after each patient has been committed.
This attentive documentary from former Magnum photographer Raymond Depardon is a compassionate look at mental healthcare in France. Combining interstitials scored by Alexandre Desplat with conversations between doctor and patient, the film affords space for its subjects to confront their troubles.
