The Dead Man (French: Le Mort) is a story by Georges Bataille published posthumously. It was adapted for a short film as The Deadman (1987) by Peggy Ahwesh and Keith Sanborn. Jonathan Rosenbaum said about the adaptation: "The film manages to approximate the transgressive poetic prose of Bataille (a mixture of elegance, raunchy defilement and barbaric splendour) while celebrating female sexual desire without the usual patriarchal porn trimmings."
The story is available in an English language edition titled My Mother, Madame Edwarda and The Dead Man.
