Dave Kehr New York Times It is a strange, beautiful, disturbing and at times literally painful work. Rated: 4/5 Sep 22, 2004 Full Review Ed Halter Village Voice Relentless, pretentious tedium. Sep 21, 2004 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Scabrous video art teetering between falutin' gallery and lowdown carnal imagery. Jun 16, 2004 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 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. Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2004 Full Review David Sterritt Christian Science Monitor Bataille was a serious philosopher as well as a sensation-seeking writer, but you'd never guess his provocative ideas from this updated version. Rated: 1/4 Sep 23, 2004 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com Apocalyptic porn. Rated: 1/5 Sep 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
