    <body><![CDATA[This is Genet's song about the vicissitudes of prison life. The mystical language enshrouds an otherwise straightforward, linear narrative. Every prison movie I've watched comes to the surface of my imagination.

    <body><![CDATA[Another Genet that is dark and disturbing. It revolves around a prison and all the inmates and their interreactions.I also have read several of Genets plays. All of his work is very disturbing and dark.It is very bothering but yet I continue still to be drawn to his work.
