Know Your LGBT History - Querelle

I'm tempted to post something else on this George Rekers thing, but I have my daily posting schedule to think of and those who keep up with this blog know that Friday evenings are reserved for Know Your LGBT History.

And for this afternoon, I thought I would focus attention on the 1982 movie, Querelle.

This movie is an incomprehensible messed based on French author Jean Genet's 1947 novel Querelle de Brest. It starred the late actor Brad Davis as Querelle, a bisexual sailor who is also a thief and murderer, and his adventures in a whorehouse. The whorehouse is owned by a woman, Lysiane, whose husband, Nono likes to play dice with strangers. If the stranger wins, he can have sex with Lysiane. If he loses, Nono gets to have sex with the stranger.

Needless to say Querelle loses on purpose and in a disturbing scene, is sodomized by Nono.

If you asked me anything else about this movie, I couldn't tell you because it's a mess, but with one saving grace.

The actress who played Lysiane is internationally famous Jeanne Moreau and she is stunning. I had only seen her in one film before this one. After this one, she became one of my favorite actresses:
