Distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films will promote the film by then at major American LGBTQ+ film festivals. A new trailer for the film, which won 14 Jutra awards and 11 Genie awards, has been circulating on the web since Wednesday.
Family chronicle depicting the tense relationship between a father (Michel Côté) and his son (Marc-André Grondin) in the heart of the 1970s, CRAZY was first released in the United States shortly after its launch in Quebec, but in a fairly confidential way. The drama also starring Danielle Proulx had been sold to SundanceTV, a specialty television channel that airs independent or foreign films, and to Netflix, back when it was a home DVD delivery service.
The feature film with a rich soundtrack, which includes Crazy by Patsy Cline Take me by Charles Aznavour, Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd and Space Oddity by David Bowie, allowed Jean-Marc Vallée to make a career in the United States. In particular, he made The Young Victoriawith Emily Blunt, Dallas Buyers Clubwinner of three Oscars, with Matthew McConaughey, and Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon. On television, he also contributed greatly to the success of the series Big Little Liesfrom HBO.
Jean-Marc Vallée died on December 25, at the age of 58, of a “sudden heart attack”, “a few minutes after arriving at his secondary residence” in Berthier-sur-Mer, a coroner concluded earlier this year. .
