Brad Davis - QUERELLE
1982. Direction: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Script: Rainer Werner Fassbinder, after the novel Querelle de Brest by Jean Genet. Fassbinder's final film.
Genet with the look of a Minnelli musical and double phallic symbols.
From On Line Sources:
Davis became an overnight sensation in the 1978 movie MIDNIGHT EXPRESS in 1985. He died from AIDS in 1991 at age 41.
On June 10, 1982, just after finishing post-production on QUERELLE, one of his most controversial films, Rainer Werner Fassbinder died.
Officially, the cause was a "cerebrovascular accident"—a stroke. Unofficially, it was a combination of cocaine, barbiturates, alcohol and a nonstop schedule. He had been destroying himself for years, overworking and overconsuming in a mad attempt to cram as much experience into as short a time as possible.
