I wasn't really sure what to expect of this film... in the end.. I must say I enjoyed it!It's all about a devout Christian husband and wife in Quebec who have five sons: Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary and Yvan. Thus.. CRAZY!
The theme of self-discovery and personal growth gives the film an extremely strong emotional core. The soundtrack is also an essential component of the film, reflecting Z's flowering love of popular music, from his days spent in the passenger seat of his dad's car, listening to Patsy Cline, to imagining a Midnight Mass erupting in a chorus of 'Sympathy for the Devil' by The Stones, getting high to Pink Floyd and downing liquor at the bar of an exotic gay club to early House; it's the soundtrack to a life spent in search of himself, and because of the power of pop music, we feel like we were there for every tear shed, every punch thrown, every cigarette smoked and every longing stare left to linger.
