Hospital
6.30pm, Tate Modern
Part of Off-Screen: Jeff Wall Film Programme - Jean Eustache and Frederick Wiseman
Frederick Wiseman, USA 1969, 84’
Frederick Wiseman states that ‘The institution provides the boundaries of the project. What goes on within the frame of the institution makes up the subject of the film.’ This is certainly true of Hospital, a film that achieves a remarkable emotional intensity despite the supposedly ordinary nature of its subject. By depicting everyday activity at a major urban hospital, the film offers a disturbing indication of the extent to which the impersonal, bureaucratic considerations of public institutions impact on something as important as our health and wellbeing.
