Hippocrates: Diary of a French Doctor

Hiporcrates is a French film that revolves around a young intern, Benjamin and his discovery of life as a doctor, as he begins to recognize negligence and pain in his own surroundings. The relationships among the characters are often tender, but never stop being conscious and logical.

With a realistic and low-key dialogue (and very subtle humour), beautifully constructed and believable characters, Hipocrates manages brake with the godly-like portrayal of doctors to make a smart film that acknowledges an often neglected and ignored issue as the medical situation and the treatment of human pain.
