The charismatic Franz Rogowski (Passages; Transit) stars as a Belarusian immigrant haunted by his actions while serving in the French Foreign Legion. Giacomo Abbruzzese’s stylish debut feature won the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.
The Guardian calls Disco Boy “a visually thrilling, ambitious, and distinctly freaky adventure into the heart of imperial darkness . . . or an alternative reality.”
