Modesty and Shame

Writer Hervé Guibert, HIV/AIDS terminal patient, films his daily routines during the last months of his life. Having provoked an intense controversy after it was broadcasted by the French television channel that co-produced it, this intimate filmed journal shows the progressive decay of a 'medicalized' body that the director recognizes less and less of his own. A film conceived and shot like an exclamation and a shout that has no other reason than the intense pain that generates it.
