Meat is murder

Blood of the Beasts (1949)

Directed by Georges Franju this film is narrated by Georges Hubert and Nicole Ladmiral. This documentary explores a Paris slaughterhouse and the people that work there.

This is a relatively short look at where meat comes from which pulls no punches in terms of showing the blood and all. I did not find this the most interesting or surprising documentary but no doubt the images will shock some. Despite being in black and white some of the sequences involving animals being killed and butchered will be hard viewing for some.


3/5
