In his Oscar-nominated CLOSE, filmmaker Lukas Dhont uses the sparest dialogue, the gentlest music, and the most pastoral of images...to tell a shattering story about the brutal ways society turns boys into men.We're taking a mid-season break from our series on movie music to bring you this candid interview with Dhont—in which he tells host Rico Gagliano how he writes like a dancer, why this quiet film is intended as a loud political statement, and what it has in common with James Cameron's TITANIC.CLOSE is streaming exclusively on MUBI starting April 21 in the UK, Ireland, India, Turkey, and Latin America. MUBI is a global streaming service, production company and film distributor dedicated to elevating great cinema.
