A FILM BY RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER
FEATURING BRAD DAVIS, FRANCO NERO, JEANNE MOREAU
“The ultimate goal of human endeavour: to live one’s own life.” Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s words on the subject of his last film are movingly apt. It’s an adaptation of one of his all-time favourites, Jean Genet’s homoerotic novel about a beautiful, opium-dealing sailor on shore leave in the port of Brest. A dream-like tale of sex, murder and the quest for self-realisation.
