Giacomo Abbruzzese’s directorial debut, 'Disco Boy,' starring Franz Rogowski, puts style above substance which damages both the pacing and the story. Our Berlinale review:
An illegal immigrant enlisted in the French Foreign Legion meets a Nigerian freedom fighter on the battlefield, and this encounter changes both men’s lives. Giacomo Abbruzzese’s highly anticipated directorial debut, Disco Boy, promises to give war a fresh perspective, exploring how apparently very different people have many similarities.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The stories of Aleksei and Jomo are told separately until their promised encounter, which only happens deep into the movie’s runtime. This decision allows Rogowski and Ndiaye to explore the emotional depth of their characters.
Abbruzzese should be unquestionably praised for the way he experiments with filmmaking, despite the mixed results. Two particular dance scenes, for instance, one set around a bonfire and the other in a nightclub, will linger in the viewer’s memory long after the credits roll. A whole action sequence shot using thermal goggles, however, becomes too chaotic to be satisfying.
