QUERELLE (Blu-ray)

Conjured from the unholy meeting of two iconoclastic queer artists, Rainer Werner Fassbinders final film audaciously raises Jean Genets controversial novel to the level of myth. In an expressionistic soundstage vision of a French seaport townbathed in fiery reds and complete with phallic spiresa strapping sailor and unrepentant criminal (Brad Davis) comes ashore to arouse passion, rivalry, and violence among the libidinal denizens drawn into his orbit.
