Set in a French prison in some remote part of the Middle East, this poetic and intensely physical vision of homosexual desire is the latest film directed by Jean-marc Prouveur. Using a carefully chosen cast it alternates between tortured repressed fantasies and imagined green woodland from home.
In the Prisoner's Song, soldiers sweat their days in solitary cells of a military jail and dream of sex with each other in the grass and flowers of their home fields. When lust and boredom overcome them they rub themselves against the stony walls listening for a murmur from the adjacent cell. Stuck in airless rooms, sexy inmates drive themselves to the edge with obsessive and pornographic longing.
A guard watches them through peepholes. The inmates are well aware of this sexually suspect spy and sometimes perform for him. Aroused by their brazenly sexual behaviour the guard's only response is to humiliate the one prisoner that has inflamed his passion.
Packed with shots of extreme close-ups of sweaty armpits, feet, arseholes and cocks this film is aggressively explicit. It brings out a sense of prison realism and of repressed desires.
