How Not to Remember Our Bodies (2025) offers a deep dive into a complex subject with a poignant touch. It weaves together Czechoslovak educational snippets from the 70s and 80s, creating a sort of visual tapestry that feels both nostalgic and unsettling. The voice-over is urgent, pressing us to consider themes of self-ownership and autonomy. It doesn't shy away from the raw realities of abortion, and that's where it distinguishes itself. The pacing might feel uneven at times, but that’s part of its charm—it draws you in, makes you think. And those practical effects? Well, they’re non-existent in the traditional sense but the archival footage itself has a haunting quality that’s hard to shake off. It’s a challenging watch, but in a good way.
