May 29, 2020
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]

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.

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.

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

A real debacle.

Doubtless not a masterpiece, the movie nevertheless puts words, sounds, and images on screen, with welcome creative energy, that have never paraded there before -- or, if in fact they're always on screen, never before so openly.
