  • Querelle [1982]
    Chen Ping

    Rainer Werner Fassbinder's last film is a must see for any fans of his earlier films or cinema more generally.
    The sailor Querelle of the title struts around the port of Brest from sexual encounter to crime back and back to sexual encounter. All the time surrounded by the lurid, candy coloured light of Fassbinder's set and the kind of thick atmosphere only he could muster. Abound with mirrors, doubles, desire and exploitation this trully is a FASSBINDER film. And he, after all, was the last (in my opinion still un-surpassed) great director of the twentieth-century.
    This telling of Jean Genet's swarthy sailor has a certain honesty about it - described as all of Fassbinder's melodramas but no longer in drag by Thomas Elsaesser. And that alone makes it a MUST SEE.
