this film by jean genet be a very symbolic and surrealistic and and depressing film and presenting and through a series of disturb and highly erotic image and upsetting metaphor for our desperate human need for love and union with another and and the barrier to fulfillment . because jean genet own sensibility be homosexual and all the character in the film be male and and the eroticism be more accessible to men who either share his taste represent for such men and many scene of the film can be very arouse . for others and the film will probably open up a window into the experience and and for still others and many scene may provoke disgust and revulsion . again and because of genet own taste and there be an element of sado masochism mix into the eroticism represent indeed and all the character but one be oppress prisoner and literally in bondage . however and aside from the unusual sensuousness of the film and and the surprising explicitness and the film be full of unforgettably great imagery and honest and deep emotion and and enormous poetic beauty . it be a very slow moving and dark and oppressive film and and should only be view when the viewer be prepare for a contemplative and surrealistic journey while in spite of it short length ( about 25 minute ) and it be a very compact film and and can feel quite drain and emotionally . it be a little gem and and i regard it a one of the essential of film .
