Cadinot's Tribute-4


Crescendo-2003 (Trailer)


Les Portes du Désir-2006 (Trailer)



The principal irony of the late Jean-Daniel Cadinot's life - as he was so fond of mentioning - was that while his parents made their living clothing men (from their tailor shop in the Batignolles Quarter of Montmartre) he'd made his even more profitable one from unclothing them...
Not only did Cadinot's films put an emphasis on the visual element - as befitted an accomplished photographer - they also featured better plots and had a whimsical approach to male sexuality absent from their American counterparts. In fact, the plots were often taken from Cadinot's own life, and featured youthful, amateur models frequently engaging in inter-racial adventures.

Under a grey sky lies a remand centre for young offenders. In this closed world, eight wild youths with troubled pasts attract, confront and provoke each other.

Eight young wild cats with violent sexual needs set up their own rule of law.

The clan boss home in without pity on the new arrival and submits him to his rule.

The dormitory, the boiler room, the workshop are all settings for punishments meted out to this easy prey. Jealousies, tensions and desires all explode with the arrival of a young lone-wolf. With an accomplice, he takes the young victim into his protection and puts and end to the reign of terror.

But the chief warden, what is his part in this downfall? With Minets Sauvages, Cadinot succeeds in making a difficult study of morality and raises the flag of his work above all the rest.
