About
Special thanks to Zoe Beloff, who has donated a 16mm print of this title to the Film-Makers' Cooperative.
"The only film by the famed French writer Jean Genet. Based on his novel Our Lady of the Flowers, it depicts the fantasy of a gay male prisoner and that of his jailer. It was originally intended for private collectors and limited audiences. While strongly indebted to Jean Cocteau's Blood of a Poet, it has influenced such diverse filmmakers as Robert Bresson and Kenneth Anger." —Amy Taubin, press release for December 17, 1983 program at The Kitchen, New York City
