Novel
Three young women at home, the eye of the camera doesn't leave them for a moment and shows them first in a narrow kitchen, then in a small bathroom in front of a mirror, then in a bare living room where they spend part of the evening. The three are the mistress of the house and her servants, and the film is clearly based on Les Bonnes by Genet. The servants pretend to unite to varying degrees against their mistress, and she, in turn, pretends to be a mistress who doesn't give explicit orders but who makes herself admired anyway. Each one of them plays the part that is most congenial to her.
Writer
A documentary about the French writer Jean Genet and his relations with the Palestinian revolution. One day after the September 1982 massacre at the refugee camp of Shatila in Beirut, Genet visits the camp. Suffering from throat cancer and having written nothing in years, Genet begins to write on the threshold of his death about this disturbing new experience. It leads to his last book, entitled “Un captif amoureux” in which Genet reflects on the Palestinian revolution, its defeat, and the loss of one’s homeland. In this film a young French woman of Algerian origin who is reading the book returns to the landscapes of the Palestinian resistance and the refugee camps full of exiles, in search of Genet.
Writer
호러, 드라마, SF가 뒤섞인 기이한 잡종의 이 영화는 세 편의 이야기를 한데 엮은 전연 독창적이고 자극적인 영화이다. 첫 번째 이야기에서 의사는 인간의 성욕의 근원을 발견한 후 기이하게 변모된다. 다음 이야기에서 두 죄수는 강박적인 동성애적 관계에 휘말리게 된다. 마지막의 환상적인 이야기는 더욱 기이하다. 살인을 저지르고 가족과 마을을 떠난 일곱 살 짜리 소년의 이야기 속에서 가족의 세계로부터 해방된 어린 소년은 자신이 벌인 일들을 바라보는 세인의 시선을 의아해 한다. 음울하면서도 더없이 매혹적인 은 각각 서로 다른 영화적 양식을 경유하며 부조리한 상상력을 교직한다.
Other
Fragments of a text by Jean Genet – “Four Hours in Chatila” – are illustrated by summer images of a park in Brussels. The contrast between what is seen and what is said attempts to stop, to break the flow of information which tends to neutralize horror.
Novel
위험한 매력의 선원 조르주 케렐이 탄 배가 브르타뉴의 브레스트에 도착한다. 조르주는 선원들이 즐겨 찾는 매음굴에서 달갑지 않게도 형 로베르를 만난다. 로베르는 술집 주인 노노의 부인이자 창부 리지안과 만나는데, 조르주 역시 그녀를 원한다. 한편, 조르주는 아편을 팔려다 사람을 죽인 뒤 쫓기게 되는데, 동성의 동료로부터 성적 학대를 당하다 살인을 저지른 질과 우연히 만나 함께 도망친다. 분방하고 대담한 표현으로 전위적이고 논쟁적인 작품들을 썼던 작가 장 주네의 1947년작을 영화화했다. 독일 영화의 새 시대를 열었던 파스빈더의 마지막 작품이기도 하다.
