A Cerebral Movie - My American Uncle review by BE
An interesting movie interspersed with non fictional dialogue from psychologist, Henri Laborit. A joined up story of four characters which sets you thinking about how and why we react to situations in everyday life. You may need to watch it again to fully understand the presented behavioural processes. Contains a few scenes which won't go down well with animal lovers.
