Set in Montreal during the disco phenomenon some 35 years ago, Funkytown follows the life of a group of colorful characters. We follow their lives and tribulations as everyone converges on a regular basis at Montreal's hot disco spot: Starlight. Along the way, several events take place that change these characters' lives. As these characters' lives unfold, the Parti Québécois takes power changing the cultural landscape in Quebec while the disco craze slowly fades. While we keep up with these various characters - it is Bastien who is a central part of this story. His drug addiction, dreams to become an actor and womanizing - make him the "bigger than life" typical 70s character around which the whole story revolves.

| User ReviewLarry JGreat film. Very reminiscent of "Boogie Nights" |
| User ReviewMarie-Ève D8/10 Patrick Huard, Justin Chatwin mais surtout Paul Doucet sont excellent dans leurs personnage. Y 'as une fois ou deux que le manque de budget m'a gosser (les dà (C)cors, le dà (C)roulement...) mais c'est très bien fait et le scà (C)nario touche à pas mal de chose de ce temps là !!! Daniel Roby à aussi rà (C)alisà (C) le film d'horreur (de succube) '' La peau Blanche '' |
| User ReviewSylvie DExcellent film, plus intà (C)ressant surtout dans la deuxième partie où l'intensità (C) dramatique est plus forte, rà (C)và (C)lant le côtà (C) plus sombre de ces annà (C)es de gros party. Tout y est : la musique, bien sûr, les costumes. Reconstitution de l'à (C)poque disco très rà (C)ussie, bonne interprà (C)tation des personnages du trio Huard-Doucet-Bouchard. |
| User ReviewMartin RLife in Montreal during the disco era. Good soundtrack. Good acting but horrible dubbing for the Italian characters. Also ran a little too long. |
| User ReviewKristal CCanada's own version of Boogie Nights or Casino that starts out with a spot-on recreation of the dawn of the disco era and spirals into general unpleasantness and ridiculousness, capped off with a startling tacked on ending. Great cast though. |
| User ReviewVicky G4/10 I wanted to walk out after 15 minutes. Don't bother, not even on video. |
