Three Dancing Slaves
- Director: Gaël Morel
- Writer: Christophe Honoré; Gaël Morel
- Producer: Bertrand Guerry; Philippe Jacquier
CGiii Comment
The first half hour is thoroughly unpleasant - working-class masculinity and posturing.
Morel is fast becoming a director of merit - he does deal with issues that are rarely in the public eye and presents them without compromise or self-serving explanation.
There is one particular scene where the 3 bothers are asleep together, naked with their father sitting in front of them - very strange.
It's worth a look - Morel definitely has much more to offer.

The(ir) Blurb...
Annecy is no tourist destination for three working-class Algerian brothers and their father, in the months after their mother has died. Marc is deeply troubled: he tries to stiff drug dealers and then plots revenge. Christophe is released from jail, lands a job, and must overcome various temptations in order to keep it. Olivier, nearing 18, may be falling in love with Hicham, a young man who constantly practices capoeira on the shores of the lake. Both violence and fraternity are close to the surface of most interactions. How each brother emerges from his challenge comprises the film's drama. Is there any way in which these men can be a family?
