Wikipedia Synopsis:
Hamida Djandoubi
Hamida Djandoubi (Arabic: حميدة جندوبي) (c. 1949 – 10 September 1977) was the last person to be executed in France. He was a Tunisian immigrant who had been convicted of the torture and murder of 21-year-old Elisabeth Bousquet in Marseille. Marcel Chevalier served as chief executioner.

I’m pretty sure this is the actual execution. It’s interesting that it is endlessly looping as though resonating through time.
