YSEULT
Yseult Onguenet (born 18 August 1994), known professionally as Yseult, is a French singer-songwriter and model. Yseult Onguenet was born to Cameroonian parents in Quessy, in the department of Aisne, France. She grew up in Paris and realized her talent at a young age, however, her father did not allow her to make music, prompting Onguenet to skip classes to audition for the ‘Nouvelle Star’ in Paris.
She rose to prominence after becoming runner-up on the tenth season of the French reality television series, ‘Nouvelle Star’. She subsequently signed to Polydor Records, and released her debut album, Yseult, in January 2015. Since leaving Polydor, she has released three extended plays, Rouge (2019), Noir (2019), and Brut (2020), as an independent artist. In March 2021 she traded the loud and busy Paris for the slightly calmer Brussels, where she found new inspiration. After she took part in ‘Nouvelle Star’, she completely breaks free from the image that was created around her at the time. The artist now focuses more on the visual and is the new muse of the fashion house Balmain. Before she releases her second album, we will first get the EP Brut in 2021. Today we get to hear the first single of that.“BAD BOY is quite pure and seems inspired by the French chanson of the seventies and eighties.

JEAN GENET | Un chant d'amour
Un chant d'amour (English: A Song of Love) is French writer Jean Genet's only film, which he directed in 1950. Because of its explicit (though artistically presented) gay sexual content, the 26-minute movie was long banned. Jean Cocteau was believed to be the film's cinematographer. Finally in 1975, the film landed on the circuit of the National Cinema Center, which authorized its distribution but was subject to a ban on those under the age of sixteen.

The plot is set in a French prison, where a prison guard takes voyeuristic pleasure in observing the prisoners perform masturbatory sexual acts. In two adjacent cells, there is an older Algerian-looking man and a tattooed convict in his twenties. The older man is in love with the younger one, rubbing himself against the wall and sharing his cigarette smoke with his beloved through a straw.

The prison guard, apparently jealous of the prisoners' relationship, enters the older convict's cell, beats him, and makes him suck on his gun in a sexual fashion. Following this, the inmate drifts off into a fantasy where he and his object of desire roam the countryside. In the final scene, it becomes clear that the guard's power is no match for the intensity of attraction between the prisoners, even though their relationship is not consummated. Genet does not use dialogue in his film, but focuses instead on close-ups of bodies, on faces, armpits and penises. The film has been cited as an influence for many gay filmmakers, including Derek Jarman, Andy Warhol, and Paul Morrissey.The complete movie including all explicit scenes can be viewed at:
