" It's sad how often homophobia is caused by self-repression and how the prisoner's fantasies, and perhaps the fantasies of some the gay audience, was just to be free to love. Genet's close-ups and mis-en-scene are elegant and poetic. The flower imagery, the cavorting, and how the lovers imagine touching the other by touching themselves or objects like the wall gave the film a beautiful, naive, and innocent quality. This film has masturbation, but there's nothing 'lurid' about it; I'd recommend"
