Review of My Body

As a man, I certainly have no clue about being on the receiving end of a society's fixation with breasts. Nancy Lee and her producer, Yvonne Gall, offer a very real lesson about Nancy's physical, emotional and social battle with her ballooning breasts and deflating psyche, then her deflating breasts and ballooning psyche. They use music to set the tone, at times angry ("Suck my left one!") and then finally happy and content. Their audio montage of the women saying the names we give to breasts is very effective. This certainly gave me plenty to think about.
