Notes/Trivia:
- Only film directed by playwright Jean Genet.
- Originally made for distribution as limited edition prints for private collectors, Genet resisted its theatrical release in the 1970s.
- Because of its explicit, though artistically presented, homosexual content, Un Chant D'Amour was long banned and even "disowned" by Genet himself later in his life.
