On leave in the Port of Brest, a bisexual sailor (Brad Davis) murders a fellow seaman and visits a notorious brothel, where he gives full vent to his homosexual desires. One by one, the other habitues of the brothel succumb to his charms. Adapted from the novel by Jean Genet, this was Rainer Werner Fassbinder's last film and his most vividly surreal in its design and photography.

querelle is the late rainer werner fassbinder's final film. here is the story of a beautiful, proud and tough loner, a sailor named querelle (brad davis), whose commanding officer seblon (franco nero) worships and desires him from afar. querelle turns on his drug-smuggling partner and murders him. he then goes to a notorious brothel run by th rapacious lysiane (jeanne moreau), who leads querelle into his first homosexual encounter. subsequently, he falls in love with a fellow murderer gil (hanno pöschl). partly becaus his love for gil panics him, and partly so that he can keep gil all to himself, querelle betrays him to the police. but by now, querelle has become vulnerable and soft, and soon the once powerful object of passion comes to belong to seblon.
