Eternity through complete physical combustion. A sui generis mise-en-scene of timelessness. Can death's removal in space concur with its removal from time? 'Cause how can you prove the existence of a thing if you have no physical evidence of it? Is death on its way of becoming an abstract, uncountable, thus discardable concept? And what is afterlife? Afterlife is the benefit you generate post-mortem for your fellow citizens. Let human recycling begin! Unlike Franju's Blood of the Beasts, this movie is a clinically clean, cold, precise account. But it tells more about our time than Franju's heartbreaking appeal: the perfect killing is the invisible one, because it is easier to accept. I wonder when we shall look at humans hanging from those hooks as cold-bloodedly as we now study the slow cadence of the pig carcasses hanging from them. Btw, peppers in my garden never rose more than 40cm above the ground, and tomatoes never got as arrogant as one metre and a half.
