How did the strong friendship between Léo (Eden Cambrine) and Rémi (Gustav De Waele) change so much in Close the drama film directed by Lukas Dhont

We get attached to the characters because we follow Léo and Rémi very closely in their environment filled with love and nature. Each gesture, each glance contributes to the growth of a rare and exceptional friendship between boys. We are touched, softened because Léo is so friendly towards Rémi. Leo is also very enterprising in their relationship. Rémi, quite shy, is under her spell. Who else too? We are like the little mouse who attends these privileged moments between the two teenagers.

But at school, among the other students, we share a certain fear. Because the framework is different. He is much more uncertain and hostile. So behaviors change. We are sorry for Leo’s choices. We feel sorry for Rémi. We end up resenting Leo. But why ? What is he doing ? What does he want in the end? We even come to hate him despite his blond angel face. Leo hides behind a desolate mask, but he finally reveals the truth and releases what weighs on his heart. Who understands it? Will Rémi’s mother be able to forgive him? And we, could we forgive him?
