Un Chant D’Amour (A Song Of Love)

Year Published: 1947

Creator: Grove Press Jean Genet

Complete Record: A revolutionary film combining lyricism and political consciousness about homoeroticism and repression in a men's prison. Furtive liasons and romantic fantasies reveal the inmates' desire for affection. These images contrast with the sadomasochism and voyeurism of the prison guard identified with dominance and the abuse of power.
