CRAZY or a family portrait by Stephanie Nolin
The CRAZY director Jean-Marc Vallée (Blacklist ) footpaths infrequent in the corpus Quebecois film portraying authentic and sensitive of an ordinary family in Quebec. Valley tells of love, acceptance and difference with a backdrop of Quebec rapidly changing, shaped and modernized by the quiet revolution and the rise of nationalism.
This family chronicle, which takes place from 1960 to today, deals with the happiness and sincerity clashes in a family of five boys all more different from each other. At the heart of this battle is Zachary (Marc-André Grondin fabulous), the fourth of five brothers. Through his eyes and then disturbed adolescent child, constantly seeking the consent of her father (Michel Côté always great), we will relive several times.
music ubiquitous, real protagonist of the film, accompanied the connection, suggesting the emotions and marks the passage of time. The Pasty Cline, Aznavour, David Bowie vibrate at the same pace as the characters and make us vibrate too. Sets, events and actions, all larger than life, we will recall memories of our youth. Special attention seems to have been paid to every small detail.
Marc-Andre Grondin embodies with great accuracy and sensitivity of this teenager who yearns to meet the ideals of his father and for this reason that represses its true nature. Michel Côté, in the role of paternal affectionate but awkward refusing the difference, offers extraordinary performance and émouvra certainly more than one. Also note the superb game from Danielle Proulx mother comprehensive and Pierre-Luc Brilliant in the shoes of a junkie.
Before becoming a film about homosexuality, CRAZY is primarily a film about a father-son relationship and what we all need to be loved and understood by our parents. Are palpable in this film's unwavering commitment and family affiliation invisible unites a mother to her child. The humor, used wisely, sometimes defuse situations that might seem onerous.
In fact, watching CRAZY, it's like to contemplate our own family portrait. It shows a typical family that lives the joys and everyday problems. CRAZY is in fact a celebration of the immutable bond that unites us to someone for life. It is also and above all a hymn to tolerance. A disturbing film, touching, which will haunt you and could probably prove to be the surprise hit of the summer season. Must See!
