Synopsis |
|
Based on Jean Genet's novel,
QUERELLE marked the end of the
controversial directorial career of
Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Brimming
with often graphic gay imagery and
themes, it tells the story of
Querelle (Brad Davis), a sexually
swaggering sailor and drug
trafficker on a pass in the port of
Brest in pursuit of sexual
gratification. In a brothel, he is
reunited with his brother Robert and
makes the acquaintance of Robert's
lover Lysiane (Jeanne Moreau) and
her brooding husband Nono. Querelle
later mysteriously murders another
man, pinning the blame on known
homosexual Gil. But when Querelle
finds himself in a sexual
relationship with Gil, his dangerous
circumstance becomes even more
complicated. |
