What an amazing amalgamation of chemicals we humans are! Dr. Robert Winston's visceral exploration of the physical processes of the body is an enlightening, exciting, and sometimes startling testimonial to just how complicated an organism the human animal is. From the graceful opening shot of naked people ages 1 to 100 standing in a row in a forest, to the painful last days of a man dying of cancer, this video will make you regard the human body with an awesome new respect.

Often using himself as a subject, Dr. Winston examines how the physiology of our bodies works. Tiny, fiber-optic cameras make a journey down an intestinal track look like a ride on a candy-pink roller coaster. Advanced medical imaging techniques used by the filmmakers make it possible to see and understand the body in a whole new way, such as when a 3-D image of Dr. Winston's head is sliced open to reveal the miniscule bones of the inner ear.

Yet for all its advanced technology, the series does not neglect the "human" side of our bodies. Dr. Winston pours buckets of salt water into the ocean as he marvels that we are the only animals that cry. The series, shot over a period of two years, is loosely framed around the lives of a group of people who narrate their emotional responses to the physical changes their bodies are undergoing. In one episode, a young girl goes through puberty, in another an elderly couple reflects on their aging bodies. Perhaps the most moving scene is that of the birth of a baby, shown from inside the mother. It is almost like you are taking this most difficult journey with the infant as he travels toward the beginning of his life.

Intimate Universe gives us a glimpse at what our bodies are doing at any given moment, whether at work or at play. You will come away from this video with a new appreciation for how much is happening right inside you, and how effortless the efficient machinery of our bodies makes it seem. --Michelle Riggen
