To celebrate the release of Close, we spoke with director Lukas Dhont and writer Angelo Tijssens about this captivating drama. We reviewed the film at Cannes last year and LOVED it.
The coming-of-age drama film revolves around two young friends whose friendship unravels, causing tragedy to sadly hit their small community.
We spoke with Lukas and Angelo about working together as a writing team, the importance of male friendships, and how society can skew masculinity.
Close’s UK and Ireland theatrical release is on 3rd March 2023.
Plot:
The intense friendship between two thirteen-year old boys, Leo and Remi, suddenly gets disrupted. Struggling to understand what has happened, Leo approaches Sophie, Remi’s mother. Close is a film about friendship and responsibility.
