A case for vegetarianism? An allegory of the horrors perpetrated against human bodies in the Holocaust? The images of Blood of the Beasts, some of the most disturbing in film History, defy simplistic readings. In this documentary, a Paris slaughterhouse and the dark district that surrounds it are filmed in a peculiarly unsentimental way, which only intensifies the morbid poetry commonly associated to Georges Franju.
