Three Dancing Slaves

"Rumble Fish as directed by François Ozon." - Ed Gonzalez

All of Gaël Morel's films contain a poignant homoeroticism which isn't always matched by the forms or styles his films take. Here, three brothers & a brother's lover comprise a loving & complex clan. The film is divided into three parts for three brothers, and though all are woven into each, each section employs a slightly different narrative strategy. It's a rich, warm & often sad family portrait, owing much in style, particularly the final tracking shot, to Morel's mentor, André Téchiné.

I love the works Of Gael Morel and Christophe Honore. When you add the Brash Stephane Rideau, the sizzling Saim Kechiouche, and the sweet Thomas Dumerchez, an entertaining film is bound to happen. I love the chemistry and conflict of the actors and would love to see either an update or follow-up to this classic film.
