Re-defining the nonfiction art form, Babies joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.

Critics' reviews

"The photography is stunning, and Bruno Coulais' music adds just the right soundtrack to this intriguing visual diary (...) The procession of youthful behavior is almost hypnotic, but 'Babies' is delivered with refreshing immediacy and joyful humor"
