CEN1-11. C.R.A.Z.Y.

Canada/Morocco/France, Feature Film, 2005, 129 min

Featuring music by David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Patsy Cline, and The Rolling Stones. This magical film covers two decades, the ‘60s and ‘70s, in a big, loving French-Canadian family, as narrated by Zac, the second-youngest of five boys. In a family that makes a big deal about everything, Zac creates major pandemonium as he begins a spiritual voyage of self-discovery. A rare combination of both intimate, character-driven auteur film and universally appealing crowd-pleaser, this emotional roller-coaster is a triumphant story of a beautifully ordinary family and the challenges of growing up different. C.R.A.Z.Y. exudes the beauty, the poetry and the madness of the human spirit in all its contradictions.

Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée
