Movie:C.R.A.Z.Y. by Jean-Marc Vallée
Length: 127 min
Synopsis: The film tells the story of a young homosexual in the 1970s, Zachary (Zach), played by Marc-André Grondin. In the film, Zach is the youngest of five boys who must face the discovery of his homosexuality in a family climate marked by Catholicism and traditional values. In particular, Zachary comes into conflict with his politically conservative and homophobic father, played by Michel Côté, with whom he nevertheless shares a passion for music. The story of C.R.A.Z.Y is above all a father-son confrontation, with love ultimately enabling both to accept each other's differences.
