Product Description

Amazon.ca

Aussi léger soit-il, le milieu de la mode est un sujet prisé des cinéastes. D’abord parce qu’il leur permet d’aborder un univers où règnent beauté et glamour ; ensuite, parce qu’il se prête à une réflexion sur la représentation et l’apparence, thèmes très importants au cinéma. C’est cette mission que s’était fixé le réalisateur québécois Denis Langlois pour Danny in the Sky, son troisième long métrage.

Danny, 19 ans, vit à Montréal et rêve de gloire et de paillettes. Plutôt beau garçon, il se décide donc à abandonner ses études pour tenter sa chance comme mannequin. Le destin lui tracera toutefois une route tout autre, le ballottant entre mauvaises rencontres et jobs sordides.

Empruntant la voie du flash-back, Danny In The Sky est une descente dans un enfer très particulier qui sent le sexe et le soufre. Malgré de bonnes idées de réalisation, notamment en matière de cadrage, le niveau plutôt médiocre des comédiens empêche l’ensemble de prendre du relief et d’atteindre une intensité intéressante. On préférera revoir Prêt-à-porter, de Robert Altman, ou même Stardom, de Denys Arcand, pour leur approche moins superficielle. --Helen Faradji

4.0 out of 5 stars Danny In The Sky is a dark movie that will provoke thought, Sep 15 2003

This review is from: Danny in the Sky (Widescreen Dub Sub AC3 Dol) (DVD)
This is a powerfull dramatic tale of a sexy young aspiring male model who says he is straight, but yet finds every aspect of his life making him seem like he is in to the gay lifestyle. Danny (Thierry Pépin) is good-looking young man and has begun to use those looks to his benefit. He working as a model and stripper. Everyone thinks he's gay, and they certainly are given reasons to believe that he is. Even though his career and perfect appearance seem to make him happy, Danny has an openly gay father who despises his sons career path, and his mom used to be a model before she died of a drug overdose. So the question remains if he is gay? He will rebel against everthing and fight with his idenity crisis.

This one of those films where you realised you have simply wasted two hours ogling a guy's body without any sort of plot.....perhaps that is too harsh...there is a plot, yet it could have been far better if the writer had stopped ogling the star's body as well!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not more than barely passable, Mar 11 2004
By 
Bill (Seattle, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Danny in the Sky (Widescreen Dub Sub AC3 Dol) (DVD)
I saw this movie only a couple of days ago, and already I hardly remember it. It's just not very good. The production values are quite fine, and so are some of the performances. But the main character is somewhat aggravating, and the plot goes nowhere. I was glad to see it end.

It's hard to see what point this movie is trying to make. In a way, I guess it's attempting to update and incorporate some elements of the 1956 movie "Tea and Sympathy," where a straight man is mistaken for gay. But now, nearly half a century later, it's time to move on, isn't it?
