Description:	Writer Jean Genet's only film is a beautifully shot blend of art film and pornography. Using light and shadow, UN CHANT D'AMOUR (SONG OF LOVE) creates a sensual and sensuous black-and-white picture of two prisoners divided by a cell wall. Their separation limits their interaction, requiring them to communicate through knocking holes in the wall. When a jealous guard inserts himself into their romance, the story takes an even darker turn. Director Jean Genet Special Features: Full Frame Format. "Un Chant d'amour" is a groundbreaking French film directed by Jean Genet, now available in DVD format from the renowned publisher CUEP. This 1950 short film is celebrated for its poetic and daring exploration of desire, repression, and longing within the confines of a prison. The story unfolds almost wordlessly, relying on evocative imagery to convey deep emotional currents between inmates separated by stone walls but united in yearning. CUEP has established itself as a distinguished distributor specializing in classic and avant-garde cinema. Their commitment to preserving cinematic heritage ensures that rare masterpieces like "Un Chant d'amour" are accessible to new generations of viewers with high-quality releases. The film marks the only directorial work by Jean Genet, one of France's most influential writers and playwrights. Known for his provocative novels such as "Our Lady of the Flowers," "The Thief?s Journal," and plays like "The Maids," Genet brought his unique vision to cinema with this project. The cast features Lucien Sénémaud (Genet?s longtime partner), who delivers an intense performance alongside other non-professional actors chosen for their authenticity rather than fame. Jean Genet's literary legacy includes works adapted into major stage productions worldwide; his influence extends across literature, theater, and queer culture. With its bold visual style and unflinching subject matter, "Un Chant d?amour" remains a landmark in LGBTQ+ cinema history?a must-see for cinephiles interested in boundary-pushing art.
