QUERELLE: 1982--A COMPELLING HOMOEROTIC FILM
German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film, Querelle, is a visually stunning, surrealistic homoerotic fable. Featuring Franco Nero, Jeanne Moreau & Brad Davis, this is a hypnotic sensual and sexual journey. It is a visually stunning, surrealistic homoerotic fable. Every shot seems designed to celebrate and eroticize the male body.Most of the sailors are shirtless, their muscles glistening with oil, captured in dreamlike, painterly compositions. Dialogue revolves almost entirely around sex—or, when it shifts to violence, it's often intertwined with sexual tension. Querelle plays like an artful, stylized pornographic fantasy—one that withholds explicit content but simmers with sensuality and desire. It is considered one of the Masterpieces of cinema.
