Come appreciate Brad Davis’ chest pelt when - in honour of Pride month - the FREE monthly Lobotomy Room cinema club presents Querelle (1982), R W Fassbinder’s adaptation of the scandalous Jean Genet novel! 15 June at Fontaine’s bar in Dalston! Set in the port of Brest (or “the fetid, stinking port of Brest” as it’s described on the back of my paperback), the plot focuses on Angel of the Apocalypse, the titular young sailor Georges Querelle (Davis), a totally amoral anti-hero with a sideline in murder, theft and opium smuggling. Querelle is so physically beautiful he’s irresistible to both men and women: pretty much every character he encounters becomes fatally attracted to him – and boy, does it lead to some wacky mishaps! Won’t you join us to watch this flawed, messy but compelling movie over cocktails? Full rancid details here.
