Big day for videos. This was the second of my two "brother" flicks (the first "Los Jornaleros" WIW #26).
"Three Dancing Slaves" (2004) is a savvy and well constructed film that chronicles the lives of three adult brothers who are trying to survive the death of their mother in the shadow of their milk-toast father. It's a carnival of wounded souls.
And it's French so there is no puppy or caught football in the end. Just life moving forward without a plan or guidance. Like where cause produces effects, and the occasional act of kindness or betrayal seems to come out of no where and from the least expected place.
High production values, painful at times. Keep the kleenex handy, but don't avoid the chance to see it. Reviews on the package call it "sexiest mainstream gay movie ever." Might be a bit over the top, but Nicolas Cazalé who portrays the middle brother, Marc, is one of the out and out sexiest men I've seen in a movie in a long time and busy (he has three films debuting in 2007). Also fans of "Come Undone" will appreciate seeing Stéphane Rideau again (an actor who has not made a film since).
