Movie Reviews of Danny in the Sky
Movie Review: danny in the sky with diamonds
Summary: 5 Stars
There is one very good reason to watch this film: Thierry Pepin as Danny. He is one of the most exquisite boys on film, with a stunning body and a profound natural sexiness. He also happens to be a very good actor, a fact which might well be overlooked because his beauty and physical presence are so overwhelming.
Danny's life is gut-wrenching. He has been orphaned by the death of his mother. He is further alienated and wounded by the coldness and brutality of his frustrated gay father. In fact, there is not one unselfish or thoughtful person in Danny's life. Desperate to be loved, he uses his staggering looks to get it by modeling and, eventually, stripping in a gay club. Danny equates worship with love.
His father's distance and anger derive from a decision, supposedly for Danny's benefit, to `act straight' as he raised his son. It was an unfortunate choice for them both. His behavior is a study in the pathological effects of repression and, after one act of violence and cruelty too many, Danny leaves home for good.
Coldly rejected by his father, abandoned by his girlfriend, and betrayed by his cousin, Danny commits an irresponsible act of revenge which goes horribly awry. He immediately regrets it, but the damage is done.
Danny's degradation is complete when his father finally decides to embrace his homosexuality. But, truly malicious and hateful, he does so by sleeping with his son's only friend. Danny is now truly alone. One can only hope that Danny will live to find the peace and love he consciously, and so heartbreakingly, seeks.
Summary of Danny in the Sky
Danny is a young man looking for love. The son of a gay dad and a top-model mom who died of an overdose when he was still young, he wants to become part of a society that values luxury, glamour and appearances. Above all he wants to be a model against his dad's wishes. His first forays in the world of fashion dramatically change his vision of things, and he abandons everything. He embarks on a quest to find his real identity, taking modeling to the extreme by becoming a stripper. He temporarily finds the love he was looking for on the set of a porno shoot, with Karine, a photographer who's as voyeuristic as he is exhibitionist. But destiny soon catches up with him.Art House & International DVD Video
