- Synopsis:
- Querelle is a sailor on shore leave in the French port of Brest. Following an argument, in which he stabs and kills his drug-smuggling partner, he seeks shelter in a nearby brothel.

Not what I expected - Querelle review by NK
This movie is shot in a kind of hyper-real style using sound stages rather than locations, so it looks a lot more like a play than a movie. Dialogue is in English. If you're a fan of Derek Jarman-style homoeroticism then this is for you.
