Back To Index Nova: The Miracle of Life
 Barnes & Noble Miraculous is also a good description for this awe-inspiring, Emmy Award-winning Nova documentary. Swedish photographer Lennart Nilssons spectacular microscopic photography takes the viewer inside the human body to watch every stage in the birth of a baby -- from the moment of conception to the infants emergence from its mother, including the never-before-filmed cell division of a human embryo. To see the very building blocks of a human life -- DNA, cells, chromosome -- magnified up to half a million times is to enter an entirely new, unexpectedly poetic, and unimaginably beautiful world that recalls the pioneering science films of Etienne-Jules Marey. An egg traveling through a fallopian tube seems to be moving toward a light at the end of an ethereal tunnel; cells look like snowflakes or white birds darting against a starry sky, and ejaculation resembles a nuclear explosion, giving new meaning to the expression, "battle of the sexes." Extraordinarily moving, The Miracle of Life is an astounding visual experience that should be required viewing for everyone.
