About The Chain Reaction
Daniel (Johan Paulik), an innocent and cute young guy, enters a gay bar for the first time. The bar's quiet and Daniel is clearly transfixed by the barman. He can't take his eyes off him. His trance is broken by the arrival of the barman's boyfriend who is also young and pretty, but obviously more confident than the naive young Daniel. At first he's amazed at their sensuous kissing across the bar and then he's jealous.
Directed by Xavier, The Chain Reaction leans on a strong ensemble — Johan Paulik, Kristian Jensen, Erik Kovac — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
