Résumé	Documentaire sur faire ou ne pas faire circoncire les bébés? No decision made about a newborn son is as consequential and irreversible as the one taken by parents around the world, often without second thought: What to do about that pesky foreskin? For filmmaker Danae Elon, who grew up in Israel as a secular Jew, the entire ritual of circumcision is ridiculous. But her partner, Phillip, comes from a traditional French/Algerian Jewish family and believes wholeheartedly in the tradition of the bris. So what else is a documentary filmmaker to do but explore the issue on the big screen? Intimately exposing her personal experience to the world, Elon takes a witty approach to a complicated and serious subject, turning Partly Private into an entertaining film that is as much about family as the subject of circumcision. Traveling around the world during her pregnancy, she examines how people from other cultures feel about what she considers an absurd and outdated ritual. And yet Elon never allows the film to become overly preachy about one side of the debate. Partly Private provides an ironic and clever look at a topic to which most new parents may never give enough thought.
