This film directed in 1950 by Genet, is his only film and because if it's explicit content, was banned and disowned even by Genet when he was older. It takes place in a French prison, where the guard takes voyeuristic pleasure in watching his prisoners masturbate and preform sexual acts.There is a love story between two prisoners. There are dark sexual parts of the film, the guard makes the prisoner suck his gun, and there is fantasy, as the prisoner roams the countryside. The highly sexual content has been recognized as influence for Warhol.
