Like the crackle of a spinning 7” record, C.R.A.Z.Y is a film thick with the sound, sights and signifiers of eras past, whenMarlborough Lights were good for you and flares were cut sharp.
Jean-Marc Vallee’s C.R.A.Z.Ytravelsthrough the fashion-faux-pas splattered 60s and 70s following the highs, lows and Bowie-obsession of Zac Beaulieu (Marc-Andre Grondin). The second-youngest of five boys, Zac’s love for his mother (DanilleProulx) and respect for his father (Michele Cote), make for a cinematic personal journey punctuated by flares and Formica.
With a soundtrack that draws upon the vintage croon of Patsy Cline and David Bowie, C.R.A.Z.Y leaves you with the uplifting sense that no matter how tough things mayseem, if you can keep on dancing to your own tune then that ain’t crazy.
