The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes
Stan Brakhage's somewhat notorious "documentary" of human autopsies, The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes (1971), tries to fashion a light poem from images of dissection, but the inevitable failure of such lyricism to subsume the corpses turns the film into a haunting evocation of death.
