QUERELLE
Drama. Based on Jean Genet's novel. Querelle is a sexually arrogant sailor and drug smuggler visiting the port of Brest in search of sexual satisfaction. In a brothel, he is reunited with his brother Robert and makes the acquaintance of Robert's lover Lysiane and her husband Nono. Querelle later inexplicably kills another man, putting the blame on the well-known homosexual Gil. But when Querelle gets himself in a sexual relationship with Gil, his risky situation develops into something even more intricate.
