Close

Oscar-nominated Close is a beautiful evocative drama about lifelong best friends at crossroads that are difficult to navigate. The intense friendship between two thirteen-year-old boys Leo and Remi suddenly gets disrupted when schoolmates shoot a wedge into their relationship. When tragedy strikes, one is forced to confront why he distanced himself from his closest friend. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Director Lukas Dhont's second film is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing.
