un chant damour be the only film make by the controversial french poet and playwright and jean genet . upon the release of this film and it be to be ban from exhibition in france . but everything i need to know i learn from ban movie . the film itself be only 24 minute long and silent . it simply a testament of genet own incarceration and homosexual desire . in un chant damour and two men trap behind prison wall find unusual way of communication and and have erotic sexual fantasy about each other and whilst a prison guard watch them . this be definitely a must see simply because of it history and and it future impact on the underground movement of the 1960s . yes and it be homo erotica and and you might be repulse by the imagery and but if anything and un chant damour be more or less a scathing look at the prison system and show how abused prisoner can feel . interesting note represent jean genet be a petty thief himself and but be save from incarceration by the director jean cocteau because of a poem he write . un chant damour be an interesting film by an interesting filmmaker .
