Georges Bataille documentary

In 1997 André S. Labarthe produced a documentary on Georges Bataille. The focus was Bataille's extreme, perverse, surreal story 'Madame Edwarda' where the prostitute reveals that she *is* God ('je suis DIEU') - perfectly merging the sacred and profane, a key notion for Bataille ... in the final section of the clip, a Chinese torture victim is shown ... in his last work, the heavily-illustrated 'Tears of Eros,' Bataille said this about these photos:

"What I suddenly saw, and what imprisoned me in anguish-but which at the same time delivered me from it-was the identity of these perfect contraries, divine ecstasy and its opposite, extreme horror."
