Jean Genet

The controversial writer and outcast Jean Genet made only one film in his lifetime yet its impact on underground and independent filmmakers has been incalculable. This sexually graphic and profoundly liberating work, which was infamously declared obscene, is a poetic paean to homoerotic desire.

Spend time with the transgressive French artist Jean Genet himself in Antoine Bourseiller’s short feature, made 5 years before Genet’s death. A film-interview that provides a picture and reflection of one of the 20th century’s most influential creators.
