Drake Doremus
USA | 2011 | 89mins | 35mm | Colour
A love story is both a physical and emotional tale, one that can be deeply personal and heartbreaking for an audience to experience. Director Drake Doremus’ film Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student (Felicity Jones, winner of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress at the Sundance Film Festival) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa.
This intimate, original and contemplative film explores how a couple faces the real challenges of being together and of being apart. An exquisite, beautifully acted cinematic gem, Like Crazy depicts both the hopefulness and the heartbreak of love, and the bittersweet beauty of first relationships.
