Omschrijving
Close is the second film by Belgian director Lukas Dhont. The film won the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival 2022, received a standing ovation, and garnered rave reviews from the press.

Close tells the story of 13-year-old friends Léo and Rémi, who are inseparable. Yet a seemingly innocuous event is enough to drive them apart. With a minimum of dialogue, the film shows how little it takes to break an unshakable bond and how far-reaching the consequences can be. Close is grand in its subtlety; it is both moving and powerful at the same time. “Dhont’s layered, exquisitely shot work, which covers a whole year of changing seasons, is about…betrayal, shame, denial, love and eventually healing and growth… Stunning.”—Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
