Disco Boy

Disco Boy (2023) is Giacomo Abbruzzese's debut drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Aleksei, a young Belarusian, flees home and crosses Europe by any means he can, then signs up for the French Foreign Legion — chasing a passport, a clean name, a chance to start over.

The Legion sends him to the Niger Delta. There he crosses paths with Jomo, a rebel defending his land and his people against the oil companies. Two strangers, a war neither one needs, and a strange thread that links them across borders. Franz Rogowski leads. Abbruzzese takes a familiar war setup and pushes it toward trance, ritual and hallucination, until the film flares into thermal color and pulsing music near the end. It won't land for everyone — but if you go for meditative, visually daring arthouse cinema, stream Disco Boy online on iFILM.
