04/14/2004 Entry: "The Ginger Mayerson Fifty Films, 49/50 - Querelle"
In our ongoing series of The Ginger Mayerson Fifty Films, here is 49/50:
Querelle I have to include this film* because I have a HUGE thing about Jean Genet. Not as huge as Sartre's thing, but pretty huge. And it pains me that this film is such a car-train-ship-art-you-name-it wreck. It's a crime thriller with queer sailors! How in God's name could Fassbinder (whom I also like) screw it up? Sigh, the things I must endure in this life, really. Querelle, Franco Nero! Brad Davis! Jeanne Moreau! What a waste! (*I also have to include this film because if I had to choose between Querelle and anything by the Farley Brothers, Adrian Lyne, and/or containing Owen Wilson, no contest: I'd choose Querelle.)
Our webhost, is a really good deal and is probably having a huge sale on something as we speak. If you're looking for webhosting, I recommend them very much.
