Description
FLASHBACK FRIDAY SCREENING
(In-Person Only)
A thunderbolt of energy, music, and queer teen angst, the exuberant C.R.A.Z.Y. follows Zac, one of five boys in a conservative French Canadian family, through the 1960s and 1970s as he struggles to reconcile his emerging identity with his father's values.
This recently rediscovered crowd-pleaser from celebrated late filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée (HBO’s “BIG LITTLE LIES,” DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, WILD) won multiple awards on the festival circuit in 2005, and was Canada’s official Academy Award submission for Best Foreign Language Film, despite being unreleased and unavailable to stream in the U.S. until now. 129 min.
