A Song of Love (1950)
Directed Jean Genet
this film stars Java, Coco Le Martiniquais and Lucien Senemaud. Two
French prisoners attempt to build a relationship while being spied on
by a guard.
Eschewing dialogue
this film communicates it's strange love story purely through image
and does a good job doing so. Even now some of the content would be
considered explicit and while the plot is not overly developed it
does show an unusual relationship in an interesting way. The skill of
the film is in the execution which manages to communicate so much
through so little.
4/5
