Less an adaptation of Bataille's first novel, The Story of the Eye, than an exploration of its thematic underpinnings, the intersection of eroticism, power and baroque perversity.

Reviews for Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye
Bataille was a serious philosopher as well as a sensation-seeking writer, but you'd never guess his provocative ideas from this updated version.
It is a strange, beautiful, disturbing and at times literally painful work.
Scabrous video art teetering between falutin' gallery and lowdown carnal imagery.
