MediocreGoodWatch scoreSummary
Made in collaboration with Keith Sanborn, The Deadman is based on a story by Bataille, charting "the adventures of a near-naked heroine who sets in motion a scabrous free-form orgy before returning to the house to die - a combination of elegance, raunchy defilement and barbaric splendor." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader.
