Querelle
In a heavy atmosphere, the young and charming sailor Querelle lands in Brest.
The harbor becomes the stage for a morbidly fascinating game where lovehate relationships thrive, with Querelle as both game-master and pawn.
Inspired by Jean Genet's work, "Querelle de Brest", the film is as bizarre and
spell-binding as the novel.

Trout ( La truite )
Frédérique, "The trout", is very much like the fish she used to own when she
lived with her father in their Jura hometown. Cold and elusive, she comes on
to men and then rejects them. One night, while she is at a bowling alley with
her husband, she meets two businessmen. They are immediatly taken with
Frédérique's saucy innocence. One of the men invites her to accompagny him
on a business trip to Japan. Frédérique agrees out of provocation, but the trip
turns out to be an overture to tragedy.
