Oscar® nominated director Dominique Deruddere's film is a darkly disturbing fairtytale for adults. On its original US release, the film was championed by Madonna, Sean Penn and Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola. But it proved too controversial for mass acceptance and never got the recognition it deserved.
Now reappraised as one of the most under-rated films of the 1980s, Crazy Love makes its DVD debut in a stunning Hi Def transfer from the original negative, laden with extra features.
The film tells the story of a man's life through three crucial nights, spread over 20 years. From a love struck teenager to a down and out 30-something, we see him move from dreams to despair. How he changes his life in one final, transcendent act gives the film its title as well as providing us with one of the most unforgettable scenes in recent cinema history.
