It is a strange, beautiful, disturbing and at times literally painful work.

Reviews for Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye
1 - 7 (sorted by comments)
Top CriticBataille was a serious philosopher as well as a sensation-seeking writer, but you'd never guess his provocative ideas from this updated version.
09/23/04
Scabrous video art teetering between falutin' gallery and lowdown carnal imagery.
06/16/04
Top CriticRelentless, pretentious tedium.
09/21/04
Apocalyptic porn.
09/22/04
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.
09/30/04
Simply stunning. A new landmark in underground cinema.
