5.0 out of 5 stars Flawed masterpiece, 4 Feb 2007
This review is from: Querelle [DVD] [1982] (DVD)
Fassbinder's last film is based on what would seem to be an unfilmable 'Querelle de Brest', by Jean Genet. It looks wonderful: lush orange sunsets, sailors, workmen, prostitues, policemen, phallic imagery. Brad Davis is stunning as the amoral, beautiful sailor. The plot and the dialogue are patchy and enigmatic, confusing at times, like a dream, bizarre at times, like a fantasy, but the sumptuousness of the whole spectacle carries the viewer along and the film contains some of the most erotic scenes in cinema. Gunther Kaufmann is wonderful as the pimp Nono, against whom all men who visit his brothel must play a game of dice: if the man wins, he gets to have sex with Nono's wife, if he loses, he must let Nono shag him; Querelle loses on purpose, not because he is gay, but in order to go beyond the bounds of experience and morality. The music by Peer Raben is mesmerising and haunting. Although a difficult and flawed film, it is a landmark in modern cinema. Fassbinder must have had a great time directing it. Apparently there is a more explicit cut of this movie. Please release it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fassbinders final, 27 Jul 2002
By HDR (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Querelle [DVD] [1982] (DVD)
This was Fassbinders last film before he passed away and it may be one of his best.
Unfortinality this is not a great DVD-realese of the movie.
The transfer is not anamorphic but it's in widescreen aspect 2.35:1, there are no subtitles avaible. The region 1 realese is in anamorphic widescreen and does have subtitles in some laungagues, like english for hearing impacts.
The sound describes as dolby digital 2.0 but it sound more like mono to me, but it probably the original sound.
It's a shame this realese is so bad because it's however a great movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Warning to the Curious, 29 Mar 2007
By R. J. Bowen "fishcheese" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Querelle [DVD] [1982] (DVD)
You know that saying about bad movies being train wrecks? Well, this
isn't just a train wreck...this is the Godzilla sequel to the mother of
all train wrecks.

Ohhhhhh, this film plays like an improv sketch of an art-house film
written by lobotomised baboons.

Unwatchable. Really. And orange. With half-naked oiled-up actors and
enormous phallic mooring posts. Well, not so much phallic as phallus...

What on earth Franco Nero and Jeanne Moreau thought they were doing agreeing to take part in this septic tank of a film is quite beyond me.

Truly, the worst movie I have ever tried to watch. I suspect I won't try the book either!

2.0 out of 5 stars Quite an experience...
Well, my first Fassbinder movie was "Martha", and I fell for the moment when she first sees her husband-to-be and camera makes a circle - as all her world went around. Great. Read more
