Death in the Seine

From April, 1795 to September, 1801, three hundred and six bodies were taken from the River Seine in Paris where they were cared for by two mortuary attendants who methodically noted down the particulars of each corpse: its sex, age, hair color, bodily wounds and scars, clothing, if any, and the contents of their pockets. With information later provided by witnesses, it became possible to speculate upon the lives and manner of death of the decedents--a subject all the more intriguing since all of those taken from the Seine had witnessed the French Revolution. Peter Greenaway has used these images to construct a stark and visually shocking film.

  • "Documentaire. Du mois d'avril 1795 au mois de septembre 1801, on a retiré 306 corps de la Seine à Paris. Deux préposés ont travaillé méthodiquement à inscrire l'état de chacun des cadavres : âge, sexe, couleur des cheveux, blessures et cicatrices corporelles, contenu des poches de leurs vêtements, etc. Avec les informations fournies par les témoins, on a essayé ultérieurement d'imaginer la vie et la façon dont ces personnes, toutes témoins de la Révolution française, sont décédées. Peter Greenaway raconte cette histoire à l'aide d'archives et de reconstitutions historiques."
