Jean Genet is both a paradox and an enigma. The film shows viewers Genet’s true place in French and international culture, revealing how his life and work continue to influence our humanity even today. Far from an idealizing biography that Genet himself would have despised, it is a stylized thriller-inspired film that captures Genet’s essence and reveals his universe.
