Description: Franju's first film, a study of the Paris slaughterhouses, interweaves elements of realism, lyricism and a few surrealistic touches. The ritualistic aspects of the abbatoirs combined with the exposed atrocities of World War II to serve as a commentary on urban life and by extension, the human condition. Death is omnipresent beneath the surface of everyday activity.
