Plastination celluloid
Regarding my post yesterday about Gunther von Hagens' plastination of corpses, BB reader Nick James says:I thought you might be interested in the German film Anatomie (Anatomy), a decent thriller with these corpse-sculptures as the subject. In the film, a clandestine brotherhood of doctors and med students perform these artistic autopsies and subsequent plastinations on living students. It's not a brilliant film, but might be entertaining for those interested in von Hagens' work. I've seen it around in US video stores. The film stars Franka Potente and Benno Fuermann, both of whom also co-starred in Tykwer's The Princess and the Warrior. Potente was Damon's sidekick in The Bourne Supremacy, in case you're not an avid viewer of German cinema.Link
