C.R.A.Z.Y.

Sunk deep in a 70s groove, C.R.A.Z.Y. sees teenage Zachary going through one of those phases as he struggles to deal with his oddball Catholic family and his own burgeoning sexuality. As Zac grows up, he struggles to suppress his own desires in order to be the man his father wants him to be. The irony is that, as an adolescent in the seventies, Zac fits in perfectly – Ziggy Stardust, the Rolling Stones – all androgyny, cheekbones, and long hair. But suburban Quebec isn’t quite ready for Zac and the family struggle to deal with the rumours that surround him. Forcing himself to like girls, Zachary tries to gain his father's adoration by doing the right thing but instead becomes tortured and rebellious, eventually coming to blows with his junkie older brother Raymond

Definitely more than the sum of its parts.
