A work of bold artistic self-renewal.

It is far from perfect, but a rewarding experience nonetheless - amd a much better film than the derivative "Lola" and the convoluted "Veronika Voss" that preceded it. It is destined to become a cult classic.

Except for some things that Miss Moreau does, Querelle is not only humorless but also uncharacteristically witless.

A cult film about the beauty, the aesthetic and masculinity and how to destroy them with impuls. A really philosophical film about the aesthetic nowadays. [Full review in Spanish]

Querelle has the original characteristics of a Werner Fassbinder movie, but it's not among his best work. [Full Review in Spanish]

Because the film is an experiment, it often seems disjointed or incomprehensible, but more than anything it marks a radical turning point in narrative filmmaking.

Jan 21, 2014It's as if Andre Gide directed a film written by Tom of Finland and cast by the Village People. Striking visuals. Avant garde, to say the least!Christian C Super Reviewer

Sep 16, 2013Fassbinder's last work only proves that he wasn't really in tune with Genet's vision to adapt one of his stories, since this is only a convoluted, aimless mess packed with ridiculous, pseudo-poetic dialogue and unable to make you feel any connection with its characters.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Dec 22, 2011Robert(Hanno Poschl) receives a foreboding premonition from Lysiane(Jeanne Moreau) about his brother Querelle(Brad Davis). That proves eerily true when arriving in town, he makes a drug deal with Mario(Burkhard Driest), a crooked cop, that is brokered by Nono(Gunther Kaufmann), before killing a fellow sailor in a fight. Feeling lucky, Querelle makes a wager with Nono... With his last film, "Querelle," Rainer Werner Fassbinder goes out on a very, very odd note with a movie that even with its languorous pacing cannot maintain its focus for very long. I know that he was no stranger to homoeroticism in his films but here it is not that the characters are in denial about their sexuality but that they need to get in touch with their feelings. So, if things seem a little dreamlike, it is not your imagination with the deliberate artificiality of the sets, dueling narration, occasional title cards and anachronistic items like a video game and the tape recorder that Lieutenant Seblon(Franco Nero) uses to dictate his feelings about Querelle into. All of which might be explained by this being based on a novel by Jean Genet.Walter M Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2011A director's wicked sexual fantasies writen in Shakesperian terms and photographed in lush Technicolor hues. A shame the characters' only motivations seem to be following their hormonal instincts and find revenge and redemption through screwing.Matheus C Super Reviewer
