“Querelle, a strange blend of sodomy and homicide, is alternately appealing, intriguing and silly. Brad Davis is cast in the title role, that of a seagoing sexpot who’s desired by all of the principal characters and by several of the minor ones, as well … The action transpires on campy, blatantly artificial sets straight out of an MGM musical from the forties. (The lighting, too, is garishly theatrical). The soundstage is swarming with sweaty semi-nude sailors. The mooring posts on the dock are unmistakably phallic. Even the swooping Art Nouveau ornamentation on the windows is obscenely suggestive. Anything, apparently for erotic effect … we get the feeling that if they upped the decadence by one iota, the screen would start oozing fungus …”
/ Author Paul Roen reflecting on Querelle in his 1994 book High Camp: A Gay Guide to Camp and Cult Films, Volume 1 /
“The idea of murder often evokes the idea of sea and seafarers ...” opens Querelle of Brest, French literary bad boy Jean Genet’s notorious novel (written in 1947, published in 1953). It’s also the opening line of Querelle (1982), the great maverick German director Rainer Werner’s Fassbinder’s final film (he died of a drug overdose aged just 37 before it premiered) – which opened in French cinemas on this day (8 September 1982). Starring rugged Brad Davis in the lead role, Franco Nero and then-reigning queen of European art cinema Jeanne Moreau, Querelle is a fascinating, hallucinatory experiment, a powerful study of decadence and a feverish (wet) dream of a movie! Pictured: Davis and Fassbinder conferring during production of Querelle. Now sing along with me: “Each man kills the thing he loves …”
"To be realistic, I feel something beautiful needs something ugly — something that's depraved or tragic to heighten and embolden that beauty. I think that's a much more realistic depiction of beauty, to have something small and beautiful inside something tragic and decaying. Something that's just plainly, outwardly always beautiful doesn't have a sense of reality to me." — (Hidetaka Miyazaki)
"I remember when I was drawing the Undead Dragon, I submitted a design draft that depicted a dragon swarming with maggots and other gross things. Miyazaki handed it back to me saying, 'This isn't dignified. Don't rely on the gross factor to portray an undead dragon. Can't you instead try to convey the deep sorrow of a magnificent beast doomed to a slow and possibly endless descent into ruin?'" — (Masanori Waragai)
