"Querelle"
1982
Directed by Rainer W. Fassbinder

Brad Davis, Jeanne Moreau and Franco Nero star in Fassbinder's final film, adapted from Jean Genet's great novel, Querelle de Brest. The film focuses on a beautiful but callous and tough young French sailor whose beauty and heartlessness both attract and repel all who meet him. "More a dream than a dramatization of Genet's novel...a lurid hymn to teenybop nihilism" (John Gill, Time Out Film Guide). German with English subtitles. 106 minutes.
