C.R.A.Z.Y. (2007)

DVD

C.R.A.Z.Y tells the story of two love affairs. A father's love for his five sons. And one son's love for his father, a love so strong it compels him to live a lie. That son is Zac Beaulieu, born on the Christmas day 1960, different from all his brothers, but desperate to fit in.

During the next 20 years, life takes Zac on a surprising and unexpected journey that ultimately leads him to accept his true nature and, even more importantly, leads his father to love him for who he really is.

Zac is the fourth of five sons, but he's always been more "sensitive" than the other boys. Growing up in a strict but loving Catholic environment, Zac does every thing he can do to impress his stern father.

Through a combinatrion of music, rebellion and humor, Zac learns how to be true to his inner self. C.R.A.Z.Y is a heartfelt coming-of-age story that everyone can enjoy.

This is a great film - I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a different cinematic experience. The performances are wonderful and the direction is crisp and inventive. C.R.A.Z.Y has an amazing soundtrack that guides the film along like a musical.

This film is not rated and is not for all ages. You discretion when viewing this film with younger ones around.

No features, what-so-ever! It's okay though, being as this a French film - it would just be extra reading for you - so rejoice in the not-so-specialness of this DVD!

If you enjoy French cinema, please give C.R.A.Z.Y a try! It's a wonderful coming-of-age film.
