Un Chant d'Amour (1950)

Posted on 10:48 by john cena
Highly Recommended
France
Short Film
Original Title: Un chant d'amour
Writer/Director: Jean Genet
Cinematography: Jean Cocteau
Cast: Java, Coco Le Martiniquais, Lucien Sénémaud

What on paper must have read like gay porn – a prison guard watches and fantasises about the masturbatory and sexual habits of prison inmates – is, with Cocteau’s peerless cinematography and Simon Fisher Turner’s sexy 2004 score, an intimate, sensual, and stunningly beautiful short film. Iain.Stott
