C.R.A.Z.Y.




Drama
In French with English subtitles

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Michel Côté: Gervais Beaulieu, head of the family
Danielle Proulx: his wife, Laurianne
Pierre-Luc Brillant: their oldest son, Raymond
Marc-André Grondin: their fourth son, Zachary

REVIEW
This is a compelling story about a family dealing with changing values during the 60’s and 70’s. The acting is excellent and the attention to detail of the period pieces is superb (except for one instance noted below).

CLASSIFICATION


FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
Zac is left sitting in the car while his father takes in some of his “famous” spaghetti sauce to an older brother. This took place in 1979. In the background we see pass by a VIA passenger train of LRC cars. These were not put in service until ten years later in the late ‘80’s.

P.S.
LRC is a bilingual acronym for Light, Rapid, Comfortable or Léger, Rapide, et Confortable trains.
