Querelle at Speed Cinema

Join us for a special screening of "Querelle" at Speed Cinema as part of our Essential Cinema series. Directed by the renowned Rainer Werner Fassbinder, this 1982 film is a bold and stylized exploration of hothouse lust and simmering violence, set against a strikingly expressionistic backdrop of a French sea port. The narrative follows a handsome sailor, played by Brad Davis, who becomes entangled in a web of sibling rivalry, murder, and explosive sexuality. Completed shortly before Fassbinder's untimely death at age thirty-seven, "Querelle" pushes the boundaries of artifice and queer desire to exhilarating new heights. Screening dates are Saturday, June 27 at 6 pm and Sunday, June 28 at 12:30 pm. Tickets are priced at $12, or $8 for Speed members. This film is recommended for viewers aged 17 and older.
