Song of Love Ratings & Reviews
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Strictly of curio value, it can offer contemporary viewers little more than some unintentional gay giggles. Oh, those French boys!
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
A revolutionary vision of emancipation through sensuality, Un Chant d'Amour is a song of love both universal and eternal.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Curio underground short experimental film about gay life in prisons.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Silent and wordless, it poetically and delicately recapitulates some of the themes of [Genet's] novels.
Los Angeles Free Press
Anaïs Nin
This is the most unrestrained film I have ever seen, but Genet's vigor, naturalness, and great sense of beauty give it a ritualistic, classical nobility.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a very effective film, and quite lovely at times.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Genet's film exhibits the obvious influence of his friend Jean Cocteau. Despite this, the tone and content is pure Genet.
