Gilles de Rais Case: Killer's Statement

The film *The Massacre of Gilles de Rais*, directed by Juan Branco, offers a superficial interpretation of Georges Bataille’s text, failing to adequately address the violence depicted. The film centers around the statement of Gilles de Rais, the infamous historical figure accused of crimes against children. This development is significant due to the ongoing legal and historical debate surrounding the case and its impact on French national memory.
