12 Days (film)
12 Days (French: 12 Jours) is a 2017 French documentary film directed by Raymond Depardon.[1] It premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and received very positive reviews.[2] SynopsisFilmed at the Centre hospitalier Le Vinatier in Bron near to Lyon, the title derives from a French law that states that patients who are involuntarily committed to a psychiatric institution must have their case reviewed by a judge within 12 days of their committal.[3] Reception12 Days received a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 23 reviews.[4] In The Guardian, Wendy Ide wrote "The extraordinary level of access and intimacy begs the question, if someone is not deemed fit to leave a psychiatric ward, can they really agree to participation in a documentary? […] However empathetic the approach and honourable the intent, questions of consent and the spectre of exploitation lurk at the edge of the frame. Moral questions notwithstanding, this is a remarkable piece of work," and gave it four stars out of five.[5] 12 Days was nominated for the César Award for Best Documentary Film at the 43rd César Awards.[6] References
