The intense friendship between two thirteen-year old boys Leo and Remi suddenly gets disrupted. Close is a film about friendship and responsibility.
Close premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022 to critical acclaim and won the Grand Prix. Specialized critics praised the performances. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards. It also won the Andre Cavens Award for Best Film by the Belgian Film Critics Association. At the 12th Magritte Awards, Close received ten nominations, including Best Screenplay for Dhont, becoming the most nominated film of the ceremony and ultimately winning seven awards. After training at the Music Conservatoire in Lyon, Valentin Hadjadj gained professional experience that led him to collaborate with the likes of Pink Martini and Gerard Corbiau, and compose the score for the feature film Avril et le Monde Truque, which was nominated at the Cesar and took home an award at the Annecy film festival in 2015. The beautiful score of Close is now finally available on vinyl.
