Who can resist the chubby little cheeks of a newborn?\u00a0 Or that sweet baby smell after a little one has had a bath and is all fluffed and powdered?\u00a0 And those giggles and coos?\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t your heart just melt?\u00a0 It\u2019s not just the parents whose hearts are stolen when one gazes onto the face of a newborn; almost everyone gets little smiley and weepy and wistful when they see innocent cuteness before them (of course, let\u2019s admit it – not all babies are cute and not all evoke those \u201cOooh\u201d and \u201cAhhhh\u201d moments).\u00a0 And what about all those moments that you moms and dads miss; when you actually walk away from your little bundles of joy?\u00a0 How much cuteness do you not get to see?\u00a0 And as the days turn into weeks and months and your little angels begin morphing into real people, defining their own personalities, finding their own footing, do you find yourselves becoming less enamored as \u201ccuteness\u201d turns into exploration and development guaranteed to create a bigger mess than the dirtiest of diapers?\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s that undeniable cuteness factor that director Thomas Balmes is counting on as he brings us, just in time for Mother\u2019s Day, one of the most adorable documentaries you will ever see – BABIES.<\/p>\n

Taking a more anthropological and tacitly entertaining viewpoint, BABIES looks at the lives of four innocents from birth to toddledom.\u00a0\u00a0 Choosing subjects from four corners of the world, each with different educational and economic backgrounds, ethnicity and demographics, we concurrently take a look at each of the children starting with pre-birth and birthing preparations.\u00a0 Our journey begins in Namibia with the birth of Ponijao, moving onto Mongolia and the precious little Bayar.\u00a0 From there we meet Mari in Tokyo and ultimately, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Hattie in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

There is no dialogue, no narration or voice over, no script, simply giggles, coos, screams, laughter and an occasional offside from a parent.\u00a0 Using simply images, four delightful characters, their inherent curiosity and ingenuity, and the elements of the world around them, Balmes lets the story shape itself, juxtapositioning and capturing every known activity an infant, baby and toddler can encounter.\u00a0\u00a0 We are also treated to an inside look into parenting skills among different cultures and are able to see first-hand the differences and\/or similarities between not only parenting methods, but the growth and progress of each child.<\/p>\n

\"2010-05-13_224043\"<\/p>\n

While one would think that little Hattie would be the most advanced child given the economic, educational and medical advantages afforded her living in San Francisco, she poops, pees, sits, stands, drools, cries, crawls and toddles just like her counterparts despite her mother\u2019s incessant super baby training with books and games designed to enhance the educational experience.\u00a0 As you will see, despite mom\u2019s best efforts, and in spite of showing a one-year old a book entitled \u201cNo Hitting\u201d, when Hattie is angry with mom, , she packs quite a good right wallop, repeatedly slapping mom\u2019s face, something that intensifies when mom grabs the \u201cNo Hitting\u201d book showing it to her. Personally, if I were Hattie, I would have been hitting mom, too.\u00a0\u00a0 If anything, BABIES lets us know who it is that is in control – and it\u2019s not the parents.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to watch the babies from four different cultures and see not only how similarly\u00a0 they develop but how their inherent inquisitiveness and resourcefulness plays into their development. I actually think Ponijao and Bayar show more intellectual advancement over Mari and Hattie.\u00a0 They are curious and look to the things around them to satisfy their curiosity. From that anthropological standpoint, the movie is extremely fascinating.<\/p>\n

\"2010-05-13_224057\"<\/p>\n

The cultural differences are interesting to observe.\u00a0 Ponijao\u2019s head is bathed in a red ochre and shaved by mom with a knife.\u00a0 (Yes, you will cringe.\u00a0 I know I did.)\u00a0 Bayar lives in a yurt with his family, including an older sibling and farm animals, some of which like to venture into the yurt while Bayar ventures out undeterred by the mud on his hands and knees as he crawls across the expansive Mongolian countryside.\u00a0 As a baby, in what appears to be Mongolian custom, Bayar is tied up tighter than a papoose which lends itself to some quite entertaining moments involving a rooster and eventually, Bayar\u2019s discovery of feet and toes (my favorite scene in the film).\u00a0 Simply priceless.\u00a0 As he gets older, it is quite common to see him sitting in the dirt surrounded by cows, getting beaten up by his brother or better still, having an interesting encounter with a roll of toilet paper.\u00a0\u00a0 Child rearing in Tokyo seems more of a social event as Mari is forever surrounded by other babies and their mommies in group outings while her dad often appears to be a fish out of water.\u00a0 And while to American and European audiences Hattie may appear to have the most \u201cnormal\u201d upbringing among our four little stars, as time moves on, the sense and acceptance of \u201cnormalcy\u201d shifts and one can\u2019t help but feel that the normalcy is really found in Namibia and Mongolia where children have fewer \u201cluxuries\u201d and are given more freedom to explore and cultivate on their own.<\/p>\n

\"2010-05-13_224110\"<\/p>\n

And while we all know that babies are fearless individuals, observing parents in action is quite another story.\u00a0 As Bayar wanders aimlessly in, around and under cows, or Ponijao tugs on goats, gets slapped around by siblings or climbs over the rockiest of natural playgrounds, no one bats an eye, while Hattie, falling into a sandbox at the end of a slide, gives dad pause for running, screaming and grabbing the child as if Armageddon was upon us.<\/p>\n

But above all, we see BABIES.\u00a0 Babies, babies, babies, Cute, lovable, adorable babies.\u00a0 Babies with toys, books, rocks, sticks, animals, brothers, sisters, toilet paper, buckets, water – babies, babies everywhere.\u00a0 And the cute factor just keeps growing with each image, just filling your own heart with an aching love for these little ones.<\/p>\n

\"2010-05-13_224127\"<\/p>\n

Minimalistic and simplistic, the real pace setter of BABIES is Bruno Coulais\u2019 score.\u00a0 With a happy-go-lucky feeling, each note is perfectly matched to the visual, be it the picturesque expansiveness of Mongolia or the red clay of Namibia or the concrete jungles of Toyko and San Francisco.\u00a0 The score serves as the transgression from scene to scene and milestone to milestone.\u00a0 I commend Balmes on his camera techniques which are generally low to the ground, keeping eye level with each baby, giving us the ratio perspective of each child.\u00a0 It reminds us just how big a place the world really is and enables us each to relive the wonder and awe of discovering this big new world.\u00a0\u00a0 The cinematography of Jerome Almeras, Frazer Bradshaw and Steeven Petitteville is lush and vivid, exquisitely capturing not only the beauty of the world around each baby, but the beauty of each little life.<\/p>\n

\"2010-05-13_224204\"<\/p>\n

Absolutely charming, each baby is more of a scene stealer than the one before.\u00a0 The giggly, happy faces, feigned crying and tantrums, the resilience. . .you can\u2019t help but love each one of these little rugrats.\u00a0 And while I am very glad that none of them are mine, it is a joy to watch them for 80 minutes and as with my own four nephews, turn them off and return them to their rightful owners, content to bask in the afterglow and fuzzy warmth of BABIES.<\/p>\n
