“The idea of murder often evokes the idea of sea and seafarers ...”
Yes! To commemorate Pride month, on 15 June 2023 the FREE monthly Lobotomy Room cinema club (our motto: Bad Movies for Bad People) presents Querelle, the great maverick German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1982 screen adaptation of Querelle of Brest, French literary bad boy Jean Genet’s notorious 1953 homoerotic novel. (It was Fassbinder’s last film. He died of a drug overdose aged just 37 before it premiered). Starring rugged Brad Davis and queen of European art cinema Jeanne Moreau, Querelle is a fascinating, hallucinatory experiment, a noble failure, a powerful study of decadence and a feverish (wet) dream of a movie! And considering queer underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger recently died aged 96, we’ll be throwing in a tribute to him on the night, too! Your attendance is compulsory, Mary!
Lobotomy Room Goes to the Movies is the FREE monthly film club devoted to cinematic perversity! Third Thursday night of every month downstairs at Fontaine’s cocktail lounge in Dalston! Numbers are limited, so reserving in advance via Fontaine’s website is essential. Alternatively, phone 07718000546 or email bookings@fontaines.bar to avoid disappointment! The film starts at 8:30 pm. Doors to the basement Bamboo Lounge open at 8:00 pm. To ensure everyone is seated and cocktails are ordered on time, please arrive by 8:15 pm at the latest. Full putrid details here.
