CGiii Comment

Fassbinder's last - and, possibly, most divisive film.

What a stylised way to end such an influential career.

Lurid colour, choreographed lighting, enigmatic and voyeuristic stages - he came a very long way - a masterpiece to those who appreciate evolution.

And, sad farewells to some great talents.

The(ir) Blurb...

Here, you can play dice with Nono, Lysiane's husband : if you win, you are allowed to make love with Lysiane, if you lose, you have to make love with Nono... Querelle loses on purpose...
