Synopsis: The newest film from French director-writer-actor Gaël Morel (Full Speed, Wild Reeds) is an emotionally rich story about three brothers who are each facing a crucial turning point in their lives.... The newest film from French director-writer-actor Gaël Morel (Full Speed, Wild Reeds) is an emotionally rich story about three brothers who are each facing a crucial turning point in their lives. As each young brother wrestles with their transition to manhood, they must escape the tyrannical rule of their distant father in order to find their own path for success in their lives. A tragic incident, however, sparks a course of events that will test each sibling's sense of self-worth, open up questions about their blossoming desires and challenge their already fragile identities. Stunning cinematography, superb production values and high caliber performances makes Three Dancing Slaves a thoughtful film about relationships where each character questions their commitments to family and struggles to make their personal imprint in the world around them. --© TLA Releasing [More]

Imagine a Jean Daniel Cadinot porn without the explicit sex...and chances are you have a pretty good idea of what sitting through this drama from Gael Morel is like.

A luscious yet ultimately empty film.

Morel[...]will shamelessly go anywhere to elicit intense viewer response.

Although graceful and dynamic, Three Dancing Slaves is none too substantial or original.

[The film] is most successful if viewed as a glossy video-log of a men’s trendy lifestyle photo shoot.

It seems to take place in a vacuum, a dreamlike world of shirtless, well-muscled boys and darkly moody interiors.

This lulling, banal, and rather pleasant film cultivates a mood of zone-out voyeurism.

Earthy, tough and very masculine ... although it never quite comes together in a meaningful way

Darkly rich in character and mood, provocative in intent...but ultimately foiled by inattention to its own story.

A loving, photographic study of beautiful, bored, alienated masculinity.
