C.R.A.Z.Y



I watched this last night, amazing movie.


If every queer movie had the soundtrack that accompanies the Canadian flick, C.R.A.Z.Y, then it would be a perfect world. Featuring riffs from David Bowie to Patsy Kline, John Lennon to Charles Aznavour, it’s a perfectly pitched coming of age story set in the late ’60s, ’70s and early ’80s that’s a must for gay audiences.

C.R.A.Z.Y tells the story of Zach, a boy who wants a pram for Christmas but gets a baseball game from his increasingly homophobic, Catholic father. Zach wants his dad to love him, Dad wants to love Zach, but with the ‘G’ word at the back of everyone’s minds, things aren’t working out quite the way everyone would like.

This beauty won 10 Geni Awards, Canada’s equivalent to the Oscars, and is a magically nostalgic trip into a world of flares, glam rock and crazy Catholic mysticism. It's the perfect night-in-with-a-bottle-of-wine movie.

Plays Zach and is simply adorable



C.R.A.Z.Y is currently on release on DVD

Trivia: Even though the movie's dialogue was in French, for the theatrical release in France, subtitles were added for viewers who cannot understand Québécois French.
