- Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye
"Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye" is a 2004 experimental film adaptation of the 1928 novel by the French writer Georges Bataille. The film, directed by Andrew Repasky McElhinney, takes place in a seemingly abandoned house where a group of people engage in wordless acts of passion. The film covers a period from evening to morning, and the sexual couplings among the members of the house becomes increasingly harrowing as daylight arrives.

"Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye" began as a video installation before being reconfigured into a feature-length film. It had its New York theatrical premiere in September 2004, and its support was led by Dave Kehr of the "New York Times", who wrote of the production; “This is transgression in a literal sense, an act of aggression that Bataille would no doubt have appreciated. This is not a movie for passive consumption, but a film that bites back.” [ [http://movies.nytimes.com/2004/09/22/movies/22eye.html?_r=1&oref=slogin The New York Times > Movies > Movie Review | 'Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye': Exploring the Temptation to Look (and to Look Away) ] ]
