About

Raymond Depardon films staff and patients in the psychiatric ward and emergency room of a large Paris hospital.

Raymond Depardon's documentary Urgences is set in a large hospital in Paris, the Motel Dieu. It was filmed in the hospital's psychiatric ward. The film follows conversations between staff and people who come to the emergency room. Some come on their own, while others are brought in with assistance from the police. All require medical attention. Depardon records exchanges with people whose behaviour has gone out of control in the anonymous big city and who are unable or barely able to keep going.
