Written by: Jean Genet
Plot
Three interwoven stories in different styles, a 1950s horror film, a prison drama and a documentary, are linked by themes of difference and fear. Based on Jean Genet.
Sinekatalog’s take
Todd Haynes's debut weaves three tales in horror, prison and mock-documentary styles, inspired by Jean Genet. Daring, stylish and provocative, it was a landmark of New Queer Cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
