The friendship between two 13-year-old boys takes a tragic turn when rumours surface at their school that they’re gay. Just like Lukas Dhont’s celebrated debut film GIRL the successor CLOSE looks at the phase of sexual orientation while coming of age. The Belgian filmmaker lives up to this sensitive topic with his cinematic impressionism, concentrating entirely on the the emotions of his two protagonists. He once again convinced at the Cannes Film Festival, where CLOSE won the Grand Jury Prize this year.
