C.R.A.Z.Y (dir. Carlos Reygadas) A complex and nuanced 'coming-of-age' tale which delves into emotional issues which can bind, or possibly drive a family apart. Most films of this nature would dwell or magnify the gender identity story-line, but in this French Canadian film, the viewer is shown that sexuality is only one part of a person's character, and how family members learn to accept each other is what is truly important. Also, the film boasts an eclectic soundtrack which showcases some of the more interesting bands and artists of the 60's and 70's. C.R.A.Z.Y is definitely a refreshingly different take on how a young male learns and integrates sexual identity, personal philosophy, and self esteem within the confines of dysfunctional family.
