The Profile

Italian director; Disco Boy is presented in the available review as his debut feature.

According to the review, Disco Boy is a debut feature that addresses war, racism and survival, features music by Vitalic, uses thermal/infrared imagery and is described in the review as having won a Silver Lion (as stated by the reviewer).

The single review describes Giacomo Abbruzzese's debut feature Disco Boy as a poetic, hallucinatory take on war, racism and survival, scored by Vitalic and set partly in the Niger River delta. The reviewer frames the film as an existential 'drowning' with dance and infrared/thermal imagery, and notes the director's debut status and a mention of a Silver Lion in the review.

Notable Quotes

❝ The film drowns in the Niger River delta; the protagonists actually drown, and those who are alive are already drowned and, a nasty thing, they begin to realize it; the viewers are led to an existential drowning that offers no escape with that Italo-disco strobe ball illuminating the lack of human harmony possessed by the subhuman mass.
