- Notes:
- Restored version. Un chant d’amour is clearly influenced by Genet’s North African military service, his homosexuality, and his ‘shrugged-off’ sense of separation from the ‘group.’ In the film, soldiers sweat their days away in the solitary cells of a military jail/oven in the desert, and dream of frolicking with each other in the grass and flowers of home. Supplemental features include: introduction by Jonas Mekas; audio commentary by Kenneth Anger.
