SYNOPSIS- Danny in the Sky

This thoughtful, powerfully dramatic
tale of a sexy young aspiring male
model who claims to be straight... yet
finds every aspect of his life pulling him
in the other direction!

REVIEW

Danny (Thierry Pépin) is a stunningly
good-looking teenager and has begun
to use those looks to his benefit -
working as model and stripper. The
drawback? Everyone is convinced he’s
gay, and they certainly have reasons
to believe that's so. Besides his career
and flawless appearance, Danny also
has an openly gay father (who’s
radically opposed to his career
ambitions), and his mom (who died of
an overdose) was a beautiful model
diva! Is he gay? How can he not be?
Outwardly rebelling against people’s
expectations, Danny internally isn’t so
sure - perhaps he is gay. This leads to
a serious identity crisis, a delve into
pornography and an affair with Karine,
a deeply voyeuristic photographer.

Openly gay director Denis Langlois
(whose 1997 L’Escorte is an
overlooked favorite of ours) expertly
handles this complex, sophisticated
examination of one man’s coming to
grips with being a lily amongst a field of
tulips. Of course, by taking place in
strip clubs and modeling studios, the
film’s plentiful eye candy doesn’t hurt!
