Citation :
« Entrée des Artistes is preceded by a short documentary film which no one should miss. [...] [Birth of the Year] tells a sure box-office story—that of Spring at the Zoo, but tells it with a sensitive choice of image, and with a quite brilliant reference to the Proserpina legend, which makes it not at all surprising to remember that it was directed by a woman, Evelyn Spice. This lady has a command over the use of the cinema camera which may well be the despair of many more noted figures in the film world. She does not merely present the babies—be they lion cubs, hedgehogs, giraffes, or monkeys—she interprets for us the wonderment at a new world which shines from their half-opened eyes. »
