Querelle

Oh! It’s Jeanne Moreau!?

Ah, right, I forgot that I was doing an 80s Art House Festival, because I started watching the Alan Davis box set. But now we’re back on track with this movie I watched in like 87? at the local Cinematheque (they had a Fassbinder festival going on).

These stylised sets are something else.

Er… like I said.

Oh, Brest! I’ve never been there.

Wow, I really remember nothing from this movie except the colour scheme. I remembered that.

The action in this movie is so stylised… There’s like several layers of unreality — the staging, the way most of the actors are dubbed in, the strict blue/yellow lighting, the Pornotopia setting, the acting style…

This is a very horny movie, which I approve of. And it looks great and stuff. But I just kind of zoned out after about an hour — it might be me, or it might be the movie. I dunno!

Querelle. Rainer Werner Fassbinder. 1982. ⚃
