JEAN GENET'S UN CHANT D'AMOUR

Cult Epics is proud to present Jean Genet's Un Chant D'Amour, the only film made by the French novelist Jean Genet. Visually reminiscent of Jean Cocteau's Blood of a Poet, Belle et la Bete and Kenneth Anger's Fireworks. The story, set in a prison with three main characters, a guard and two prisoners, is a voyeuristic, confrontational, poetic masterpiece. Forbidden in France upon its release, and only available in the US in censored form and through underground distribution, UN CHANT D'AMOUR is now released from its obscurity and is presented in its complete version on DVD, together with an in-depth Documentary, GENET.

"A work of enormous power, arguably the greatest film made by an author, fully transforming his literary and spiritual vision, in an original work conceived for the screen, into cinema."

what does it matter gay or not? that is not the question :D I just loved what I saw, all I know from jg is The Balcony(really interesting and amusing to read.And honestly it's a really profound piece of life wether there might have to deal with politics, sexuality, fantasies it doesn't matter, it's just a good way to discribe life, things happen next door, and all that is part of our twisted life.there's so much more to it)this one the metaphor.looks really beautiful great reconstruction jg :D

@handsomevision I certainly didn't take offence in anyway... you simply asked a question.

@handsomevision well Genet was, as you know, a gay man so I dont know if that makes everything he wrote 'gay'( by the way I doubt many of the men in the scenes would have considered themselves gay so does it make it gay or not?) Genet also wrote 'The Maids' a famous play about three women. But it assumed that this is really about three 'queens'. Hope that helps a bit.
