🎬 Movie

The camera, without adornment, follows the workers of the Parisian slaughterhouses at Vaugirard and La Villette. Instead of voiceover condemnation, there is a cold observation of the daily ritual of animal slaughter. The cutting of carcasses, the butchering of meat, the flowing blood become an almost abstract ballet of heavy labor. The film balances on the edge between documentary recording of a trade and a surreal investigation of the boundaries between human and animal, life and death in the post-war urban landscape.
