Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during France's 'cinéma du corps' movement, obsessed with physicality and transgression. The title itself plays on 'genre' meaning both gender and type/kind.
Director Carré was primarily known for documentaries; this rare fiction feature was barely released and remains virtually unknown even in France.
