Everything You Wanted to Know About Sudden Birth (but were afraid to ask)

About This Movie

This documentary offers a wild ride through a bizarre intersection of events and personalities. It dives into the often neglected history of 'Sudden Birth', an educational film that’s both deeply unsettling and unintentionally funny. The pacing is a bit erratic, bouncing from the Berkeley police department to WWII-era Netherlands and even touches on Star Trek lore with a nod to Mr. Spock. The practical effects have that rough charm, adding to the film's strange allure. The way it explores themes of childbirth in such an absurd context is both jarring and oddly fascinating. There’s an offbeat atmosphere that makes it feel like you’re peering into a weird corner of film history that most would overlook. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.
