Description:

Show detail Hide detail

The title of IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG, a Canadian-British co-production, is a Cockney rhyming slang for a situation gone wrong. And wrong it goes for the star of the show, the fictitious DJ Frankie Wilde, whose loud and eccentric ride atop the world of "sex, drugs, and techno-dance rhythm" plunges deep into the abyss of debilitating tranquility. Structured as a mockumentary faux-biopic, the film starts with the mystery of Frankie's disappearance from the public eye and, then, flashes back to a time when the idiosyncratic DJ ruled the popular disco club subculture. His abrupt descent from stardom is precipitated by Frankie's loss of hearing. Abandoned by his record company, manager, wife and friends, Frankie is forced to transform his hallucinatory trance-universe of pulsating music beat and excessive substance-abuse into a journey toward redemption. As he starts facing his demons, Frankie learns to appreciate the sensuality of sight and touch, the senses that eventually lead him to a triumphant comeback. The film is set on the sunny locations in Ibiza, Spain during the summer of parties and musical extravaganza. The narrative flow is often interrupted by the lively soundtrack, hypnotizing shots of the night club scene, and faux-interviews with real life DJs such as Tong and Paul Van Dyk who comment on Frankie's reputation and contemplate his demise. <1h 32mn>
