Lars Von Trier could make this film.
If you haven't already a filmed or written an explanation on what happened to this project, I would love a video which outlines what happened to this screenplay. In an interview you did with Justin Odisho, you said this project was a giant colossal failure but a hell of a ride at the same time. I'd love to know more!
You got Christopher Doyle on board! That's insane. Good luck on the film and I would love to see it.
Making story of the eye a film? That's pretty hardcore. Like actually hardcore. Like more hardcore than most hardcore adult films!
I guess this book was featured in the movie called "Before Sunrise" where we first see Julia on a train reading. Was it the same one?
Hey . What happened with the movie ? 4years later ?
"I force myself to contradict myself so as to avoid conforming to my own taste." -Marcel Duchamp. I believe that this quote mirrors the physicality of Bataille's work. Just want to share the quote. I kind of view it as a mantra.
Its 4 years later now hows it going with shooting the movie?
None of my philosophy-nerd friends have ever even heard of Bataille, and they all generally think I'm crazy when I try to explain it to them. It's cool to see someone else is so passionate about his works. I hope this is still in production. If I weren't just a lowly part-time dishwasher I would absolutely contribute.
what do you work as?
Nothing can motivate me to read books like you can. Your reviews just captivate me. Thank you.
the review starts at
I was searching documentaries about Bataille for my thesis, and just find out someone who understands, finally, what I'm thinking for years about this man. Thank you for this video.
I read The Story of the Eye last night and the requisite essays (in the Penguin edish), and spent the better part of the night trying to explain to my friend in the bar that sense of "whahhh?" between yes and no, and obscenity and regularity, and eggs and bloodshot balls and toilets and moons. I'm not sure I understand, but I went to bed last night sure I was finished, and woke this morning peeling back the pages for answers. I'm grateful for this limbo, and for you steering me here.
I both received and finished my copy of Story of the Eye today and I’ll admit for the first few pages I was skeptical, but soon I realized what I was dealing with, around the time of the Orgy. Much like innocent young Marcelle I felt like I had been driven mad once my brain put the pieces together in the following chapters. In so many things for the rest of the day and probably for the rest of my life now I can’t help but see Bataille and I’m both amazed and disturbed by how easily chaotic debauchery and sexuality can pervade everything. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had a novel shake me in such a way. Thank you Sargent. Thank you for convincing me to read this and many other world shaking books. It took me a while after this review to convince myself to read it but I am glad I did.
Your french accent is pretty good! (as a French, my English sucks and I hope you will understand what I say below)
the reason I really loved your channel is that I feel we have a similar artistic sensibility, so I really take your recommendations seriously knowing that I will likewise love the book.
You have what it takes. The words that you spoke from
I read that book in high school because I read an interview with bjork where she's names it as the book that saved her from thinking she was crazy
I finished this roman today as a part of my french studies. And though I don't yet have the capacity to relate it to myself (in a sense) but rather as simplicity of practice, this vid definitely confirmed what I've read and then bound it to a sense I can relate to. Thanks for this!
