It brings into focus the current worship of youth and reflects on women's willingness to refashion themselves to achieve the perfect body. The filmmaker starts with a rumination on her own body and her love/hate relationship to its middle aged imperfections. In her mother's generation, wrinkles, veins and sagging breasts were accepted as a symbol of a lifetime of childbirth and child rearing. Health and usefulness was what that generation expected of their bodies. Now, with the tools of the plastic surgeon, no deviation from the norm is tolerated. Filmed in Scandinavia, it shows nude women of all ages and sizes enjoying a summer's day by a lake. The naturalness of the setting and their apparent lack of self consciousness frees the viewer to appreciate and accept the variety of womanly shapes. 001355950 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001355950 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001355950 586__ $$aBerlin Film Festival, 1997 001355950 586__ $$aFilm de Femmes, Creteil, 1997 001355950 586__ $$aMargaret Mead Film Festival, 1998 001355950 650_0 $$aAging. 001355950 650_0 $$aBody image in women. 001355950 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355950 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747797617 001355950 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1645965 001355950 901__ $$aASP1645965/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25145$$tbiblio 001355950 905__ $$uadmin 001355950 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355950$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355950 944__ $$a1784879 001355950 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355950 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355950 980__ $$aBIB 001355950 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355950 983__ $$aOnline
