Genet’s unforgettable film. I first saw this 20 years ago in a dark cinema in a completely silent screening and was pretty stunned to see homoerotic imagery this explicit in a film from the 1950s. I hope those watching it for the first time have the same response. Well done for bringing it here, Jon, A great addition,.
I’d love to see a show in a dark cinema someday!
Terrible. Guess I expected something like Jean Cocteau. At least I wasn’t shocked, as I probably would have been, watching it in the 50s. Not sure what that says about our times, though.
Interesting curiosity. I remember seeing it in 1973 billed with Kenneth Anger’s SCORPIO RISING, FIREWORKS and Jean Cocteau’s BLOOD OF A POET.
It was shown at my university by its in-house Company Cinematheque complete with random pot-smoking in the audience and beer bottles rolled down the graded aisles.
I loved its straightforward outre (for its time) explicitness coupled with its reach for Art.
Would be great double-billed alongside Fassbinder’s genius psychedelic adaptation of Genet’s QUERELLE, a homoerotic classic in its own right.
Thanks for adding this!
Gregory, that’s the exact double bill I saw it in@
I first saw this on YouTube Several years ago. I don’t remember seeing some scenes. There were some quick glimpses of the nudity that I look for. The scene with them outside and the fellow starting to ‘explore’ the other man wa a real tease! It was definitely an erotic movie.
Never seen this film before but I thought it was pretty good. Reminds me of the film Bent.
Aha, Barton — just saw your comment. That was the general package release of those films back in the late ’60s through the 1970s even in avant garde film venues. I don’t think most American distributors knew quite what to do with the Genet outside of showing it in porn houses with SONG OF THE LOON.
Just to clarify: that film package to which I was referring was the Genet/Anger/Cocteau. Glad to hear it was screened with QUERELLE which was quite the shock-the-bourgeoise event in the 1980s upon its release. Two thirds of the audience whom I suspect had come to see a Brad Davis film left within the first 15 minutes.
