Truly wonderful macro photography. Color x-ray photography shows the development of a chick embryo from its early conception until its escape from the egg. One can see the blood cells pulsing thru transparent veins, and the heart beating. The soundtrack is Beethoven's EGMONT OVERTURE.

Definitely worth a view if you can find it. A prize-winning film. The 9-minute film was made by the Hungarian scientist János Vadász. It won the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film - Court métrage and the Prix de la Commission Supérieure Technique at the Cannes Film Festival in 1965. I would highly recommend it. It is scarce and hard to find, but it might be found at some universities and libraries.

The music of Ludwig van Beethoven , the X ray images, the steps of birth of new life and the meritorious work of Janos Vadasz are the basic ingrediends of this short documentary.

A film about miracle of life, profound poetic and useful and touching. Cells, nerves, the aparition of heart, the egg and the brocken eggshell , the baby chick are the pillars of this pure fascinating travel across miracle of existence .

Difficult to review it because see it represents a real profound experience, changing, maybe, in some measure, the perspectives about reality.

So, a scientific poem, sustained by Egmont ouverture.
